via Digg‘s ever-changing front page, ‘tho it looks like this thing’s been around for a while, since the video on YouTube (link below) has been around for five months.
Looks like a company called BetaMinds in the UK has created the ultimate bar toy. Or maybe it’s a toy bar. All I know is if I had a bunch of friends, and some drinks around one of these things, we wouldn’t leave for a very long time. And or, we wouldn’t talk to each other at all, ’cause we were too busy playing with the flashy lights… Of course, that’s sorta how our bar nights go anyway.
The iBar (video here)
iBar is a system for the interactive design of any bar-counter. Integrated video-projectors can project any content on the milky bar-surface. The intelligent tracking system of iBar detects all objects touching the surface. This input is used to let the projected content interact dynamically with the movements on the counter. Objects can be illuminated at their position or virtual objects can be “touched” with the fingers.
