Noise sensitive table identifies the most talkative person in the group

If you want to know who’s the most dominant member in a meeting is, you should try this new noise-sensitive light-emitting meeting table codenamed Reflect.

This luminous board captures conversation via its built-in directional microphone and determines who is talking, the length of time talking, and other metrics. Participants need not wear any special gadget to capture the conversation so all they need to do is talk, talk, and talk. On the other, it can also detect those guys who are not actively participating in the conversation.

Cool, eh? Reflect might prove very helpful in balancing conversation and give equal opportunity for each member to speak. Conversely, it can also force other members to talk for the sake of talking even if they don’t make any sense at all.

But seriously, do you think the corporate world will adopt this technology in every day business meetings? I don’t think so.

How about you? What do you think about Reflect?
