Description: Even though so many people were left un-wowed by Vista, Microsoft's latest announcement is sure to elicit some excitement. Five years in the (very secretive) making, the Surface Computer is a tabletop system that allows users to interact with digital media in some truly remarkable ways. CNET News.com's Ina Fried has exclusive video of the system in action, viewable below. Surface Computer users can fingerpaint digitally, resize and interact with photos and videos, and even "digitize" some real-life events, such as splitting up a restaurant bill and researching wines. The Surface Computer can recognize some real-world objects and creates on-screen versions to interact with. The innovative system looks a lot like the interface demoed in the now-famous YouTube video of NYU researcher Jeff Han. Alas, the Surface Computer isn't intended for home use--at least not yet. Instead, the tabletop system is expected to be used as an interactive kiosk for businesses, restaurants, and for entertainment in public spaces.

dummy1977 ::: Favorites after the toys wear off, people are going to be dying to a mouse and upright screen. It is just not an efficient or productive way of working. It may as well just be the Xbox DS. Just as it was a horrendous task to search for books in the 80's when some libraries had touch screen searches... it's no mystery why keyboards always dominate. 07-08-17 13:20:53 __________________________________________________
dummy1977 ::: Favorites Think about every thousanth mouseclick and shortcut combo you've made trying to get things done in XP. Now, slow down your fancy $120 laser mouth to the speed of the human hand+eye cordination, and watch the frustration and carpal tunnel kick in. Can'tchya just wait for WIndows thought control?? 07-08-17 13:20:08 __________________________________________________
