- vudicarus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22very cool
beats playing with peanuts - NinjaBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22its cool and all but will it tell them I need another beer?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10@NinjaBoy:
That may not detect if you are low on beer but this will:
http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/09/30/spark.beermat/index.html - Dvoid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Hrrm... i wanna like drop a tub of... ants or mice or somein and watch em scurry around on that surface... damn cool.
- Asianwaste, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10NO IT'S MAGIC!!!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I wouldn't be surprised if I saw this in some swanky nightclubs in 2007...
- vuke69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Now what would be really cool, is if you could draw an object on the bar with your finger, say a circle, and then give it a swat, sending it sailing down the bar.
Massively multiplayer pong. - GoodOlClint, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8just getting this up to the top.

http://www.betaminds.com - almighty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I must be online too much because this is old news.
- vuke69, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7You are incorrect sir, it's projector based, but thanks for playing.
- pairanoyd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I wonder how much this bad boy costs??
- jull1234, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4additionally, imagine the fun shapes formed by vomit.
- Funrunner, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5How long until there are i-bar games? Connect the lines and win free drinks!
- markob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Nah, this wouldn't survive our parties. Few slammers with tequilla and it's dead.
- raabco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This bar is only as cool as paying $9 for a pint of Miller Light.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6There is nothing special about the surface per se as it is most likely controled by an overhead camera which is watching for changes in motion and objects and updating the projector underneath through some computation and nifty effects.
This is very similar to the setup seen in the Rock N' Roll McDonalds in Chicago. - fxmcleod, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5sorry, for some reason only half of what i typed showed up.
its similar to a plasma ball, those van-der-graff generators with a noble gas in them. They are also available flat, as seen here. This one uses seperate computerized components to connect points, and let people interact with it, while lighting up with phosphors on the uppermost surface, and projecting added animations and light points. - darkside23, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5but how does it work? and what do i need to build one?

http://www.betaminds.com - glucoseboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2cool, probably in a bar in vegas right now
- zephc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Use it on the kitchen floor so you can see the cockroaches more easily.
- DarkEnder, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5What kind of surface is it?
- zcreem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The internet is old too, but we still digg it.
- MistressRoninS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes but better the bar than the backside of a car for the same reason, following the pretty lights while drunk.
I like it though, even if it is an older digg. That's something at least that might keep me at a bar since I don't drink. A dance floor like that would be cool especially for spectators. - Caboose125, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The top is more than likely plexiglass...spilling on it wouldn't really do much. Except get everywhere.
But the liquid would make the projector go crazy...in a good way. - jizzxcore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I want one. This has to have better application though.
- unusualbob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you liked this then check out the human locator, its an interactive billboard, does more than connect the dots but thats not shown in this video.
http://digg.com/videos_people/Human_Locator - heffer2k02, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Those lines from drink to drink could seriously help your minesweeping when wasted...
- jull1234, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1freakin sweet.
- flipzmode, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What happens when it's a real bar at a real place and they spill stuff all over it?
- superjarvo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Give it a month and some drunk bastard is gonna slam his glass right through the table top.
- pygmalion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The song in the video is "Out of Time" by Levitation. It's on Cafe Del Mar volume 4, a great compilation if you're into this kind of music :)
- strangerzero, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5That's beautiful!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Hmmm I wonder happens when it is exposed to fire/water...
Must be cool to watch. - ahhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"I want to see Pee Wee do the Tequila dance in his Big White Shoes on *THIS* bar!"
HAHA...awesome. - jaynedoe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2that music really gets me in a drinking beer mood
- herrschwarzer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1here is a similar project: http://digg.com/design/Interactive_bar_table
- tylerni7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No, if you look the lights seem to turn on when someone has their arm over the counter. Which would imply 2 things, the sensor is above the bar counter, and it is not projected onto it. (However, it would be possibly for the counter to detect changes in light, but that is probably too much work. And theoretically it could be projected from the side, but that is very unlikely.)
- anevilscientist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1taken from their site *the translated to English part* "The iBar system is ready to be installed completely into any kind of bar-counter, there's no need for any further installations on the ceiling or something like that." Also in any of the pictures i didn't see anything overhead but that could've been easily edited out. So I'm still not sure what the surface is but it appears not to be projected from over head.
- toosas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1gets kinda laggy when processing lots of stuff
- chedabob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Would be cool if they could combine it with fire and water effects. Like ripples and stuff.
- iamsjn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I was thinking the same thing! Wasn't this story around about the same time last year?
--SjN - pjleonhardt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@vuke:
No, http://pong.flash-gear.com/ is massive multiplayer pong..
atleast it was when it was dugg and had a few hundred people playing on each side...
( http://digg.com/tech_news/Massive_Multiplayer_Pong ) - moley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just please embed mega touch photo hunt into the bar at every stool. That would do it for me.
- protogenxl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It looks like an aplication of FTIR ( http://cs.nyu.edu/~jhan/ftirtouch/ )
- b04155, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Random fades does not an editor make.
- palmer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What kind of amateur-hour company links to YouTube from its official Web site? Is the contact E-mail address at AOL?
- BruB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Old news, dates back from June and was posted here if I remember well, still a cool bar.
- pixeljunkie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0would be cool for a dancefloor
- FastZ, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This is pretty old, at least a year or so old. I remember getting an email passed around to me here at work a long time ago that had an article about this bar. Still cool though.
