Just when you thought you’d have to be confined to a keyboard and mouse when trying to interact with a computer comes a revolutionary, albeit twenty-year old, concept that is definately going to change the world. Announced today, Microsoft revealed Surface, a multi-user, multi-touch computer system set up like a normal table or desk. Using a series of cameras built into the system, it allows multiple users and items to interact at the same time. The system has built in WiFi, allowing it to link up with almost any WiFi-enabled device, such as a digital camera or a cell phone, by simply placing it on the system itself. Don’t expect to see it out before the end of 2007. These babies’ cost 5k and up, but if you can afford it I’d highly recommend it.
Just imagine the possibilities of what artists, businesses, and the entertainment industry could do with this. Gene Roddenberry would truely be proud.
