Electronics maker Savant Systems, of Osterville,Massachusetts specializing in home automation, has developed a new coffee table that resembles that Microsoft Surface Technology Concept.

They call it the ” Rosie Coffee Table “, that has a 40-inch wide touch screen panel, ability to sync iTunes libraries, IP network digital cameras, and business card readers from the graphical user interface (GUI).
Savant says their Rosie coffee table is “Apple-based”—although they aren’t too clear about what that means. (Previous Rosie products are based on the company’s RacePoint OS, which they describe as an “open, multilayered graphically based operating system.”

Victor Saverino – director of product management,Savant Systems Says.. “The Rosie Coffee Table brings the converged functionality of a touch panel to an interactive surface technology that is practical on the one hand, entertaining and exciting to use on the other,the Rosie Coffee Table is truly the evolution of interactive technology—it can seamlessly download photos from digital cameras, play music, movies, and TV shows as well as accomplish complete home control all from within one elegant forty-inch interface.”

Savant Systems target customers list is more towards individual homeowners. Other products from Savant Systems include massive multi-room audio/video control sets and plasma HDTV monitors with built-in IP connectivity features. According to Savant, the coffee table will be available “in a number of different furniture styles ranging from contemporary to traditional.”

Savant plans to offer the Rosie table in a variety of styles to match contemporary and traditional decor…although there’s no word on pricing or availability yet.
