We'd heard of this a little while ago, but it wasn't until we saw it at NYU's ITP Spring 2005 show that we were able to take in the complete grandiosity of MenuVista. A senior thesis project by Chia-wei Chang, an overhead projector and pressure sensitive dining table in a darkened restaurant allow for an interactive menu system that uses your your real placeware as a display for ordering; you can select a beverage, appetizer, and main courses sorted by food type and portion size. Perhaps the most wonderful thing about MenuVista, however, was that it wasn't just a concept piece, and actually worked when we tried it. Well, maybe that and the fact that it was delicious, delicious Thai. Yum!
Yum Yum. Finally, the days of Cowboy Bebop dining are among us.
inspired by cowboy bebop. cool idea.
sooo very cool damn it! Want one of those here in Sweden!

Sounds like a mighty fine idea. I'd like to see this in every single restaurant.
