It’s been a hot minute since we’ve heard from the fine folks at Ideum, but when the image above floated into our inbox… well, it’s safe to say our interest was piqued. We last heard from these guys back in the fall of 2009, and while The Platform is certainly a bit smaller than the 100-inch MT-50 that came before it, it’s also a heck of a lot more practical for average consumers. Well, save for the price. Looking beyond that for a moment, you’ll find a devilishly thin (3-inches) table, complete with 55-inches of 1080p gorgeousness, a 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 178-degree viewing angle and support for a 64-bit copy of Windows 7 Professional. The internal computer includes a dual-core Core i5 CPU (2.66GHz), 8GB of memory and a 128GB SSD; you’ll also find WiFi, Bluetooth and a slew of “hidden ports.” The entire thing is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum, and it supports a total of 32 touch points. We’ll leave it to you to discover what it’ll be used for in your future abode, but if you’ve got the $ 17,950 to take one home, you’ve probably got the brains to figure it out.
