Picnic tables aren't everywhere, which is why students at the Tunghai University in Taiwan created the folding napkin table. This new table can be used anytime anywhere. There are even cup holders to keep your drinks from spilling while you are wearing the napkin table. Now anything can be a touch screen with this new technology from Metaio. This new gadget uses infrared as well as augmented reality technology to turn anything from an ordinary mug to a table into a chess game or a keyboard. Robotic furniture is no longer just a thing of the future. Roombots can become any type of furniture you would like as long as you have enough to make it happen. They roll around and attach themselves to each other to become whatever furniture you wish for.
