This awesome table runs Windows 10 IoT

Tables are pretty cool. So is Windows 10. So why not put them together? Here's a look at an awesome Windows 10 IoT table!

Windows 10 on a table is something we've been super interested in. In fact, we're so interested in the idea, we went out and got ourself a decade old Surface Table just to put Windows 10 on it! Today however, we had a chance to go hands on with a much newer table, powered by Windows 10 IoT, a streamlined version of Windows 10 for the "internet of things".

This new table is a lot less bulky than the older Surface Table, with a much bigger and higher quality screen. Like the Surface Table however, this table has been designed for retail scenarios like restaurants, with a UI that works on both sides of the table, again similar to the Surface Table and its UI.

The IoT table retails for around $15,000, which is not cheap. We're still several years away from there being consumer-facing tables that anyone can go pick up running Windows 10. This table specifically is running Windows 10 IoT, with a custom app interface that has games, cool tricks and more.

Keep it locked to Windows Central for more Build coverage.

  • Just curious Zac
    What are you gonna do with the other table you bought earlier this year??
    😅
  • Now, all we need is a Surface Pocketable Table with telephony capabilities.... It will be called the "Surface Table Phone"
    .......
    I'm going to do this on every article, from now on...
  • Imagine the folds on THAT screen. =P
  • Yay! Thanks, Rodney!
  • The biggest problem I see with a table like this in a restaurant would be all the germs on the table from everybody else's fingers touching the thing. Especially kids. The restaurant would need to provide finger condoms.
  • If only there was a simple and convenient way of cleaning a surface between customers... something that might've been effective at cleaning for hundreds of years... If only such a thing existed. If only...
  • I'm not sure about you but every time I'm at a restraunt I see kids wallering all over the tables any way. Many times everyone touches a table with their hands, elbows or even puts their phone on it. Your phone might as well be a toilet seat with as often as many people clean those... In my opinion, this just gives wait staff a reason to actually wipe them down since it will distract from the visuals with this type of table. As it stands now you're lucky to get a quick wipe down with an old dirty rag.
  • My mate actually built his own table with a massive screen, and a mini-pc built into the underneath. Kinda cool actually but limited application - great for screen savers, tactical games, map displays, but too flat for reading etc.
  • This would be an interesting concept for Dungeons and Dragons and other tabletop games.
  • D&D on a digital table you say 🤓 ?

  • Cool
  • who makes this id like info on it
  • kodisoft
  • Nice concept 
  • "Table as a service"... Hmmm.
  • Nice technology but the cleanliness part will be key. Not with some dirty old rag
