    Now [I]that's[/I] the way (albeit amazingly expensive) to play C&C3 and EndWar!!

    Bah. When are we going to get to move stuff in the air instead? Or use glasses and gloves to do it?

    Edit: Having actually [i]watched[/i] it, I can say Im impressed. Microsoft is finally moving towards great design. (On the other hand, now they look exactly like Apple..)

    Ooh, and imagine the boardgames you could play!! :D

    Thats quite cool but uhm... I already have enough trouble cleaning finger smudges off screens people are NOT supposed to be touching, I can only imagine on a screen people are SUPPOSED to touch. That table will be a greasy fingerprinted mess.

    You know...with the exception of the jerky interface, that picture resizing thing looks like identical software as multitouch demo shown with the technology Apple has now licensed.

    I'm surprised it's only going to be from $5,000 to $10,000. I was expecting it to be much more.
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    This is my favorite iteration of an intuitive interface, one that is also based around a projected image and IR tracking of surface objects.

    You know, as much as I hate Microsoft, this is amazingly cool. How many times have we seen things like this predicted in Sci-Fi!? I'm rather excited!

    I do sometimes find it a bit sad that most people just hate Microsoft, completely unaware that the company actually pours a large quantity of money into its many research labs, where they do some very, very cool stuff. MS are like any large company, they have their good points and their bad points. MS Research in the UK would be a great place to work...
