No, not quite a holographic California Roll on your plate a la Princess Leia in Star Wars… But a fairly new Asian-themed restaurant in London called Inamo is making some noise with some pretty neat use of technology. Essentially customers sit at their seats and instead of big colorful pictures in some menus like at some Chinese restaurants, the the modern day Inamo remix of that is having images like Dragon Rolls among other dishes beamed down on your table by a projector above your table. With this tech innovation, the length of an average meal was cut down by about 15 minutes due to waiters not having to run to and from the kitchen.



Unfortunately this isn’t that 3D hologramaki I thought it was, but it still sounds real cool. People that know me know me also know that I’m quite the tech head. This seems like a novel idea and something I’d definitely want to check out and play with. But at the end of the day, I share the same feelings as one of the food critics; novelty wears off and you kind of want some human interaction and banter with the staff sometimes.
