Musical Coffee Table



"Amusity is a interactive tangible user interface coffee table, that displays your entire music collection. Amusity allows you to play, watch the music video and see additional information about each song. In addition meta data such as popularity and genre control the way the music is displayed - popular songs in the center, rare songs in the outskirts. In addition activating a certain song will display recommended songs based on past play lists."

It's quite a good idea to make Coffee Table musical. But I think it can only be place at home? I thought it would be cool if they place such coffee table on Starbucks, Coffee beans but then it will be very noisy as all the tables produce 'music'. You won't want your favorite "music" become "noise"!!! (They can provide headset!)

I really like the visual effect they see on top of the Coffee table, it's really futuristic and high tech. Able to see lyrics, details of the songs... or even profile of the singers. Let say this song was sang by a new artist, I can click it easily and know more about her.

I believe this coffee table can bring people together with music and open up more topics on music. I'm sure music lovers will love this interactive design.
