Have you ever wanted to see what your food will look like before you order?
The manufacturers claim, a two-dimensional menu picture just won’t cut it, so TEC Japan has created the Tobidasu Menu (pop-up menu) to embed into restaurant tables.
Now customers can browse the digital menu by touch and interact with menu items in 3D.
No word from TEC as to when/if the system will be available in restaurants, but it’s consistent with an overall industry push to get more and more touchscreen terminals and other technology into restaurants.
Oh Dear, whatever would we do without these earth shatteringly new leaps in human development.
Now, if you have a few spare moments maybe… we could just apply a little thought to feeding the worlds hungry, curing Malaria and global warming.

Another friend of mine was saying one of my companies whould apply 3D to online orders - having a “virtual food builder” that would update based on your choices.
Certainly possible, I just don’t know that the cost is worth it right now.
Of course Japan would be the first place to make this a reality, lol.
