Shape changing interfaces give physical shapes to advanced information so clients can feel and control information with their hands and bodies. Our approach is to construct an insightful model for the properties of deformable materials. Office desks have been created and used for quite a while. The most well-known viewpoint about these office work areas is that every one of them are nearly the same, much the same as a consistent table. The proposed Touchable Table is the perfect arrangement that will influence work areas. It can speak with the client in different ways. It is an extraordinary advancement for a work area as it influences the client to feel more relaxed, inventive, and stimulated. Subsequently, the proposed table has the capacity to hold anything that drifts over it and thus, the user will never need to stress over purchasing any stands. The proposed touchable table will help in reducing some health issues triggered by the use of an old-fashioned office desks. In addition, the proposed table is capable of creating various types of 3D shapes as well as to moving the objects around. Furthermore, the proposed Touchable Table comes with a user-friendly application and can adjust itself based on the user's preference of the office style.
