WeHub makes the central dining table in households interactive. It can project visual media, visually recognize various objects, and control external smart devices. To operate it, WeHub offers a set of haptic modules. These trigger various ‘social apps’, either alone or following a certain combination logic. The social apps are designed to strengthen the connection between users. The WeHub smartphone app thereby enables the input and control of complex content.
