Microsoft Surface - Please don’t eat at the table. Friday, July 6th, 2007

microsoft surfaceDo you remember when Total Recall came out?  Watching the wild futuristic effects of the hologram chick, see through the clothes Xray machines, and the strange face masks.  I was in awe.  Similar to the technology from movies like The Imposter and Minority Report all of which fascinated me, The Surface really gives me those geek gadget goosbumps.   Not just a super fun coffee table for the home, but its practical applications are really pretty cool, and take me right into some of those movie scenes.   Take a look at this one: Take me to out to dinner there anytime!

 

Contrary to assumption, the surface itself isn’t touch-sensitive, it sports a series of itty bitty cams from under where it recognizes when someone places or drags a finger, hand or any other object (hmmm…!) on or across the tabletop screen with internal projector lights screen from beneath. It can also can recognize objects placed on the surface, based on their shape or on special codes affixed to them.   Id cards, smart cards, credit cards, the sky is the limit!

Technology: Uses a custom software interface on top of Microsoft’s Windows Vista. Comes with wired Ethernet, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless, hard drive and 1 GHz processor.  22 inches high, 21 inches deep, 42 inches wide, with 30-inch screen.
