CNet News - and writing CNet that way is just a personal preference - recently posted pictures of the Intermission Bar at the University of Westminister.
Why would a bar become featured on a tech site like CNet? Simple.
It turns out school's student union is testing out new high-tech tables that allow bar patrons to order their drinks on their own using a touch screen. This eliminates the need to muscle one's way to the bar in order or to try and corral a passing waiter just to get yourself a drink.
What will they think of next?
The tables also allow customers to IM other tables, going as far as providing pre-formed pick up lines. One can order drinks for other tables or forward credit in the same way just from the comfort of your seat. Now that is a novel idea.
I wonder if this will become the start of a new trend in bar design. It's certainly something I'd appreciate...
