I think we can all agree that "interactive tabletops will allow users to explore data in familiar places such as living rooms, cafés, and public spaces." So how will we use these when they become commonplace?

These can take place around the table already being used, with personal devices playing an active role in the discussion." The idea is that, with the right technology, any tabletop can become an interactive tabletop.
