A restaurant meal that ended in frustration as Noel Hunwick and Danny Potter tried desperately to get the attention of the waiter to pay the bill led them to develop an interactive ordering system. 据英国《每日邮报》9月25日报道。用餐后埋单，诺尔·汉维克和丹尼·波特拼命了命才叫到了服务生，这顿饭让他们很受挫，继而俩人研发出了一套互动的点单系统。 Noel, 29, and Danny, 30, met as students of Oxford University and found they shared a love of technology and food, so they decided to combine the two. 诺尔，29岁，丹尼，30岁，两人在牛津大学读书时相识，因为发现双方都爱技术，爱美食，因此他们决定将这二者结合起来。 Six years ago they began to develop the technology for their E-Table system that allows customers to order food, drinks and the bill from a virtual menu projected on to the table. 六年前，他们开始研发电子餐桌系统的技术，这一系统能够使顾客通过投射在餐桌上的虚拟菜单来点选食物、饮料以及结账。 Customers can also change the images featured on the table, play games such as battleships and do puzzles and even get information on the local area or book taxis. 顾客还能改变餐桌上的画面来玩游戏，比如海战游戏和猜谜，甚至能够获取当地的相关信息或者预订出租车。 In 2008 they opened their first Inamo restaurant, in Soho, central London, using savings to fund it. In December last year, with backing from Barclays Bank, they opened Inamo St James on Lower Regent Street in central London. |
