At the first glance, the DelighTable is just like a normal table setting in the store. When you touch it and feel it, you will discover that is high tech table. When you own it, you will light your life up. The DelighTable has a fantastic affect with drink, especially drink with the ice. It glows directly under the glass and shines up through the drink. If it has ice in it, the cube will reflect the light to the supernatural looking. The cool thing fo DelighTable is the prototype, wherever it is touched and remembers for a few seconds after you could write or draw right on that table.
Technology:
The entirely surface is just 25 mm thick and it is water-proof, which is a touch-sensitive plane which glows in different color. The table inner working consists of an opaque liquid which is like sandwiches between a layer of transparent plastic film and a light source. When touched, the liquid disperses, allowing the light to shine through.
Project dissemination:
In recent year, the technology of DelighTable is popular by manufactories. They used this technology in many formats: coffee table, writing/drawing desk, Dinning table, ibar, shelf panel to light up the glasses etc. Especially it is most popular in the ibar and coffee table. Some theme clubs use this technology to provide fashion and mysterious feeling in order to attract more customers.
Relevant:
It is not going to say that DelighTable with high technology more expensive than normal table, so users are not willing to throw away after they just used for a short period. The surface adhibits a transparent plastic film which can protect the surface was scored. Users are able to change a new transparent plastic film to make the DelighTable looks like a new one.
The high technological DelighTable is just consumes only 12 volts of energy. This product as save energy as possible. Sometimes, the DelighTable can instead of the paper, for example, order bill, draft paper etc. In this way, it can reduce pollution and protect the environment.
Reflection:
After researching of the review of the DelighTable, I realize that physical computing product can enrich our daily lives in many ways. A great design product will improve the quality of the human daily lives. A successful design had to consider not only cost, convenience and benefit, but also energy, environment and pollution. So in my opinion, the DelighTable is a successful example of physical computing influence on our daily life.
DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF CRAP.
ReplyDeleteI bought one of those and boy, HOW I REGRET.
It's really poorly manufactured, it has a PVC plastic with a liquid inside it, and the PVC is all scratched even when new.
The light is WAY dimmer than the videos, the room have to be really dark to the glass light up just a little.
Opening the frame around the table you will see a bunch of cheap USD5 led strip taped with 3M insulating tape (believe or not), and to finish I received it with the wrong frame and guess what: The representatives want me to buy the correct frame.
I'm really pissed of with this piece of junk, and I can't even send it back because it's so heavy that the overseas shipping would cost more than that garbage.
