The Georgia Tech Interactive table was a collaboration between Digital Media, Architecture and Industrial design. The project goal was to create a social environment through physical and digital design. The ubiquitous table was used as a symbol of social interaction and was the basis for this project. This multidisciplinary class was asked to design the platform, environment, and software for the idea of a interactive and social table.
We were to design the table around the movie Fast Cheap and Out of Control.
