Remember The Drift Table?
Remember the Drift Table? Way back in December, I found out that I was getting the chance to play with a prototype coffee table stuffed full of aerial photographs of England & Wales (but not Scotland) for viewing through a small viewport, with the visible landscape changing according to the distribution and weight of objects on the table’s surface.
It looks like this:
Cool, huh?
Sadly, before I got my mitts on the thing, one of its hard drives failed.
Happily, it’s now all better, and coming round my house tomorrow afternoon!
For those interested in reading about a man staring gleefully at a table for six weeks, The Drift Table Weblog will return to life tomorrow. Its main purpose is to help me easily document my time with the table for the RCA and Equator Project people behind the project, but I’ll also do my best to post more broadly, about matters relating (tangentially, I imagine) to the table.
Ooh spiffy. Another xml for bloglines :)

And I think I have to sign a contract promising that no one will dance on it!
We could eat brunch off it at the weekend, though - “Oh no! The scrambled eggs are taking us to Slough!” etc.
