Kage roi table does your web searches for you

Only recently we told you about a table that monitors who is dominating a conversation and deemed it potentially disruptive. This time, however, we're looking at the "Kage roi" which looks to add to the coming together of wits and intelligences. Using voice recognition, Kage roi grabs keywords and performs internet searches, displaying the results for each to see. To add to it all, the table even uses colored LEDs to set the mood. For instance, if you work with a group of morning people, set it to sunrise. If you're trying to get them to scramble before the end of the day, give them a sunset and let the desperate brainstorming begin. Developed by IT firm Kayac with some brains on Keio University, Kage roi won't be in a board room near you any time soon.

Grabs keyboards? Maybe "keywords?"

[DeoWulf @ Jun 30th 2008 7:19PM]

Also, "To at it it all"

Perhaps you mean, "To add to it all"?

You mean it knows what I want to search for? HOW?!?

Could have sworn that the sun setting creates the same colors as the sun rising.

[BeniRose @ Jun 30th 2008 7:08PM]

I'm pretty sure you meant keywords and not keyboards.

[LoneGunman @ Jun 30th 2008 7:10PM]

Huh? I've got to set the moods? Why not hear me say "I need this ASAP" and have the table throb red with rivulets of blood dripping down the side?

[Ed @ Jun 30th 2008 7:13PM]

Oh God. I can see it now.....

"Thanks for asking Mitch. My 2 girls are doing just fine".

"No Suzan, 1 Cup of Coffee will be okay"

Kage Roi, "Searching 2 Girls 1 Cup .... Found Video.... Playing"

2 girls 1 cup will wake you up faster in the morning than a double shot of cuban coffee; this may be a good thing.

Holy Crap, I just googled your reference and worked out why it is highest ranked ! Excellent work you twisted bastard.

[Andy B. @ Jun 30th 2008 7:19PM]

So, it sets the mood to sunrise or sunset eh... Such variety!
Will it do waxing and waning crescent moons too?

[Kakabonae @ Jun 30th 2008 7:27PM]

With the voide recognition that is built into Vista right now, I can see this being maybe a little bit more annoying than useful.

[Kakabonae @ Jun 30th 2008 8:20PM]

Voice* ...Lack of comment editing FTL.

[hiko36 @ Jun 30th 2008 9:28PM]

Nope, I think you had it right the first time.

[Bassir @ Jun 30th 2008 8:33PM]

Perfect for proving people false and backing up your claims in an argument.

Let the wookie win.

[Smart People Play Tuba @ Jun 30th 2008 11:46PM]

But, sir! No one ever worries about upsetting a droid!

[Smart People Play Tuba @ Jun 30th 2008 11:48PM]

And oh yes . . .

"wookiee," not "wookie."

I had a T-shirt that had it spelled wrong ("Let the wookie win.") and it was an officially-licensed shirt. Go figure.

As we all know, all one really needs is a wikipedia table, for those lunch time arguements

[Crashmaxx @ Jul 1st 2008 8:41AM]

Now this will become a reality, the future is here:

"Shut up friends. My internet browser heard us saying the word Fry and it found a movie about Philip J. Fry for us. It also opened my calendar to Friday and ordered me some french fries."

[Shawn @ Jul 1st 2008 12:34PM]

Didn't we already see this in a Futurama episode?
