The new Microsoft Surface

Surface is the first in a new category of surface computing products from Microsoft that will “break down traditional barriers between people and technology”. 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. how cool is that? 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.

It took them 6 years to materialize this from the concepts and ideas. Perhaps the best way to visualize this is by video below.



Check out Microsoft Surface's Virtual Pressroom for more information. Looks like we're already in the future. I personally would like to have this as my home coffee table.
