While the iBar isn't something that many people are likely to have installed in their homes, it may just be the next big design trend for upscale eateries and nightclubs. iBar is an interactive surface system on which any visual content can be projected, including still images and videos. More interesting than that is the fact that the surface uses an intelligent tracking system to digitally keep track of objects on the bar and their position and movements can be tracked with colored lights. The virtual objects can even be interacted with, which would give bar patrons yet another way to entertain themselves.

Tabu lounge at MGM in Vegas had this for their VIP tables maybe a year ago...

The games and effects are pretty fun, but theirs had projection from above, and from the picture, the iBar looks illuminated from below. Still, it is immensely entertaining in a club/lounge setting, with girls wanting to come over and play or dance on your table and whatever.
