Implementing new food interactions using magnetic dining table platform and magnetic foods

In this article, we propose a new human-food interaction interface called `magnetic dining table'. This interface looks similar to a traditional dining table but it introduces new user interactions for food and utensils such as modifying weight, levitation, movement, and dynamic textures. However, we implement new user interactions by manipulating a strong magnetic field generated by an array of Bitter electromagnets placed under the table. Then, we also propose edible 'magnetic foods' made by adding edible magnetic materials.
