Magnetic Dining Table and Magnetic Foods

Published:09 November 2016Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this poster, we present our concept of magnetic dining table interface and magnetic foods. This interface allows new interactions for the food and utensils such as modifying weight, levitation, movement, and dynamic textures. We implement these interactions by manipulating a strong magnetic field formed by an array of Bitter electromagnets which placed under the surface of the table. Then we add edible magnetic materials to the foods, and make them interactive and controllable.
