The furniture changes color according to the mood

A person walks into a room with a Fuwapica table set, placed on a table of favorite things, a green jar and sit on one of the chairs. Slowly, the white chair turns blue ...

The ancient Japanese believed that the soul lived in everything, whether living or inanimate. Talking to a wall is not a silly act, but rather a way of relating to a soul. Now, they have invented a set of tables that show that philosophy.

Called Fuwapica, it means " soft and colorful", the table feels the presence of the person and will gradually change color to suit the person's wishes. This interactive product can be found in shops, airports, museums or bars in one or two years.

"We want modern people as we recall that there is an interaction between people and things," said Ichi Kanaya, an assistant professor at Osaka University.

Kanaya and his colleagues designed a round table with a computer and liquid crystal display and four chairs. Tables and chairs are connected together through a wireless signal. The color sensors on the table will scan objects placed above it to find out their color and then the computer sends the signal to the chair, turning the color to match the item.

Brightness is controlled by pressure sensors located inside the chair. It will measure the air pressure and send this information to the computer on the table. The higher the pressure, the brighter the light.

Typical cases are as follows: A person walks into a room with Fuwapica set, place a memorial or favorite item - call the green jar - on the table and sit on one of the chairs. Slowly, the chair began to move from white to blue.

"Imagine, for example, a fat man sitting on a sofa. It would change color from white to red, as if blood pressure had risen," Kanaya said.

What the team needs to do now is to ensure that desks and chairs behave consistently, seamlessly and with solid technology. No one wants to restart their chair.
