Media-rich touchscreen tables boost pub experience

London’s University of Westminster 499-seat Intermission pub has six touchscreen tables to allow patrons to order drinks directly from the bar. These RFID-enabled tables can also allow users to chat with those at other tables. Some users suggest going further — to have control over music selection, to send requests to the university radio station, to view webcams to see drinks being prepared, to play games, to stream sports videos to the tables, and to order taxis. These media-rich tables were built jointly by Compuware and Escapism Media using a Captive Audience Network system.
