Hands-Free Meetings

A Future Table That Visualizes Conversations

By integrating Transparent API, which converts speech into real-time visuals, with Panasonic’s multi-touch monitor, capable of recognizing four users simultaneously, we developed a table where ideas expand effortlessly—just by talking.

Issue

Instant, Unrestricted Discussions

Modern meetings involve time-consuming tools and roles—PCs, projectors, whiteboards, note-taking, facilitators, and follow-up emails. These processes often slow down creativity. This project aimed to create a next-generation conference table that fosters intuitive and engaging discussions.

Creation

interact with Visualized Ideas

The system visualizes conversations in real time, allowing users to touch and organize ideas instantly. Pinned images are automatically sorted per participant and can be accessed via smartphones, making collaboration seamless. The table was showcased at Panasonic’s NEXT100, celebrating its 100th anniversary.
