surfacing

Alright, everyone has had their problems with Microsoft not being cool enough, but if this isn't cool, then I don't know what is ... so make sure to watch the video below!
A Surface computer is able to recognize physical objects from a paintbrush to a cell phone and allows hands-on, direct control of content such as photos, music and maps. Surface turns an ordinary tabletop into a dynamic surface that provides interaction with all forms of digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects.
We'll be able to check out these interfaces at the end of 2007! Can't wait to use this at home. (tk)
