process of painting

was working for a music site on the cell phone internet, but now I have joined a new joint project. It's an ordering system at a restaurant. You may order food and drink on a a table top touch panel. Have you ever seen such a machine anywhere? I am not sure it is common in other countries. In Japan, big Izakaya chains adopted the system to cut payroll costs, and get content or advertising income. My company and another big company will start the joint venture on July 1st. It is always fun to start something new. So I don't care that I have to work late or on the weekend too. Please excuse me. Today we had a lecture class about the new business at work so I didn't have enough time to write my blog.

So I will link to some "art making videos." You can see the process they use to paint something. It's very interesting how they draw and paint. Enjoy it! Mona Lisa

Xerts in Sydney have the touch panel ordering system at the table, which was mainly to keep with the science fiction setting of the restaurant. I'd never seen it anywhere else, but it's a neat idea.

In Singapore, we had several chains of sushi restaurants (not quite like izakaya - they were more upmarket compared to other local eateries) that had touch screen systems that you could use to order your sushi. But these were often conveyor-belt sushi restaurants, so the touch screen monitors were never used very much, except for dishes that were not served on the conveyor belts. Most people never used them anyway.

Ordering at a restaurant by table top touch panel sounds like a great idea. I would very much enjoy eating at a place like that.

I wonder if Americans could handle it, though. I write software for handheld computers, and the average person using our applications needs a great deal of support.

In one case, we actually had to explain to users how Windows worked on computer screens. Our trainer finally got them to understand this by saying that Windows were like pieces of paper, and then showing how one paper could cover another.
