1. QODE Interactive 

QODE Interactive is a youth business venture, specializing in the development of HTML5 convergence technology, M2M (WOT) based multi-device network games, and interactive table-type devices. Some examples of their interactive tables are the Drunken Shot, an LED Smart Interactive Game Table for bars and pubs, and the Coffee Cube, an interactive sales table for coffee shops, and various educational interactive tables.

LED Smart Interaction Table

The LED Smart Interaction Table is mounted with an LED and LCD monitor screen, which is its most prominent feature. This item uses convergence technology to interconnect an interactive table with a smartphone with a simple swing and touch, allowing games to be played and products to be displayed. Currently, a board game called "Blue Marble" has been developed and more games will be added in the future.

Besides games, the main feature of this table is the multi-interaction capability. The table identifies the function of a device and connects the monitor, table, and smartphone, so that each device can effectively interact with each other. In addition, the control function allows the user to operate various functions of the table with a smartphone. Lastly, the LED control function allows the user to personalize the design of the LED screen and control it with a smartphone.

These tables could help promote a healthy group culture for today's increasingly individualized society and smartphone generation. Also, various content and advertisements can be set up on the table. We expect them to be used in different settings, including arcades, bars, and coffee shops.
