While watching This interview, someone mentioned Microsoft Surface.
I don't know about you, but this is actually the first time I been impressed in a really long time about a product that comes out of Microsoft. It's like a touchscreen, but not with some of the limitations... such as only being able to register one point at a time on the whole thing. One thing that makes you wonder is how expensive it will be. Might even take awhile before there's a consumer-version. >> ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

If they can pull it off, that would be pretty cool. I doubt, however, that things lke the "Jen's zune" would work well, since I can think of few MP3 players with built-in WiFi (though I do believe the Zune has that). Plus, how would you use older software?
Still, it's got a lot of promise. |

The site for that is made of flash.
The site for that is made of fash. The site for that is made of faih. The site for that is made of fail. In other news, it's... sorta 'meh. Touchscreens are sorta nothing new to me. |

I saw a video of something identical to this about a year ago and it certainly wasn't made by Microsoft. Once again they have come in and bought innovation instead of creating it.... thus proving once again that Microsoft couldn't come up with an original idea even if it conked them in the head. |

6 cameras? Well, I admire their approach, but then it seems a bit overkill to me. I'm sure some people will enjoy it, though. |

Posted by Microsoft Posted by XeonHURR WE ARE MICROSOFT LOOK WE CAN COPY PEOPLE HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR < God damn those people. Can't they come up with something ON THEIR OWN?! And of course, knowing Microsoft, this this will have 5,276,358 bugs to be worked out once they release it, and it will take approximately 5 years for 1/2 of those bugs to be worked out. By then, Apple (or some other company) will have come out with the same thing, only better, and it will actually work. ____________________ |

Is it a flat surface? Yes
Is it touchable? Yes Does it follow the movements of a finger/etc? Yes Logic dictates that it is a touchscreen. "If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...." ____________________ What FF7: Advent Children Character Are You? |

Simple multitouch touchscreen.
If it's not, it sure as hell LOOKS/BEHAVES like one. And yeah, what an original concept that we've never seen before. ____________________ |

Posted by NightKevGotta love how one person says somethinga nd it's immediately taken as gospel by everyone else just cuz it hates on MS.Posted by Microsoft By the way, I've only seen this done once before, and that was an entirely difference concept (musical interface with variou shsapes/etc controlling sound, far from an actual computer) And who fucking cares? Even if they didn't come up with it they should still be allowed to refine it and make it kick ass, or should we all hate on modern car companies because the idea of a vehicle that makes people go around the planet was created by Ford in 19-bullshit? You all suck, by the way. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Isn't that just a touchscreen (i.e. "one point of contact" e.g. mouse)?
This is raically different in that it allows multiple. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

If you're talking about my thread, look further down at koi's reply. Not his first video, but his other two. ____________________ |

I didn't always hate Microsoft... until I realized they love to steal ideas, buy out innovation and stomp on there competition with unfair business practices. |

Existing tech?
I'm pretty sure that there is other multi-touchscreens but I'm also sure they probably work in other ways. Besides this apparently been in development since 2001. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Posted by Xeon Replace Microsoft with Google and you have a similar scenario. Here is a list of some of Google's recent acquisitions. Shouldn't Google be capable of doing the things these company do? Google bought the company who compiled the satellite images you find in Google Maps/Earth. So, how is this different? This is business. |
