People may use the table to explore the country, to travel to see a friend’s house, to revisit locations, to explore questions about geography, or to simply watch the world go by. The Drift Table has a circular porthole to a screen that shows aerial photography that 'drifts' according to the distribution of weight on the table. The current 'location' of the table is shown on a small screen on its side, and an electronic compass aligns the photography with 'true' north. Almost a terabyte of aerial photography of England and Wales, donated by GetMapping.com, is available for viewing. See the Domestic Environment for more information. |
