The Key Table
The Key Table gets a sense of people's emotions from the way
they dump their stuff onto it. Much as slamming doors is a crude
measure of mental state, so the table uses the transient onset of a
new weight to gauge mood. Reactions to emotional entrances are
triggered as mechanised frames swing pictures off-centre to warn
other inhabitants to tread carefully.

The Key Table is about one meter high with a flat surface for
emptying the content of pockets on to (such as keys, wallet). The
energy of dropped objects is assessed by the transient response of
built-in load sensors. This measurement is wirelessly transmitted
to a companion picture frame that tilts accordingly.

Environment for more information.
