I can't figure this thing out. It's interactive but why?

If a customer can't use it to jerk off to how can it sell on the open market?

fusionx · 05-30-2007, 07:05 AM

I totally want this!

[ Nate ] · 05-30-2007, 07:12 AM

That is cool! God I love technology!!!!

dalt · 05-30-2007, 07:16 AM

DOCTOR 30 · 05-30-2007, 08:03 AM

How? Well for one thing it will be easier for them to use their left hand to pull up their vids to watch. lol

Top secret??? What a stupid statment, when I saw something on discovery about that 5 months ago.

They showed the use of it in the movie with tom cruise, ( cant remember the name ) and then they also used it in the movie the island.

tony286 · 05-30-2007, 08:53 AM

Instead of making interactive coffee tables, they should create a os that isnt a piece of shit. Also imagine how uncomfortable it would be to look at a coffee table for a couple of hours.

Semi-Retired-Dave · 05-30-2007, 08:57 AM

Very Cool...that's going to be one messy table.

They used this type of gimmick in the '97 version of Lost In Space and before that a couple dozen other movies and tv shows including Star Trek series.

If the platform could be elevated then fine, that prevents someone getting neckache from leaning over the damned thing.

Exactly.

DOCTOR 30 · 05-30-2007, 09:23 AM

Nothing is happening until there are 3D goggles web surfing. Goggles that can adjust the size of the screen to 40 ft high to 1 ft high.

There were several technologies that came out like that earlier in the decade but suddenly disappeared. hmmmmm.

_Richard_ · 05-30-2007, 09:34 AM

that's a pretty cool technology, but i don't see how they plan on replacing the current models

madawgz · 05-30-2007, 09:41 AM

whoa thats fucking insane

Kevin Marx · 05-30-2007, 09:57 AM

interesting, but gimicky and application specific.

tranza · 05-30-2007, 10:02 AM

Damn, that looks pretty cool indeed!!!

Nathan · 05-30-2007, 10:40 AM

Doubt this will REPLACE computers, it will just be another type, I wouldn't mind that kind of desc, but would still want a keyboard and monitors on it and such... But hey, Surface would see that I put a monitor on it and add it to the config... same for a mouse and keyboard.. thats really the awesome new concept.

If they can really make it understand everything you put on it, or at least all enabled devices, this will be AWESOME.

Yes, the concept of multi-touch, multi-user screens has been around before, heck the iPhone has a multi-touch screen. But it has yet to become usable commercially, and it sounds like Surface is actually happening soon.

acctman · 05-30-2007, 10:49 AM

i want one, that would be cool.... allowing users to interact with a site buy using there hands

D · 05-30-2007, 10:49 AM

It's the next step, imho...

Not the mainstream model - certainly, but it'll lend way to more compact methods of expressing the technology in the future.... or set the stage for more integrated technologies of the same type.

Like they said - this is basically marketed toward retail partners like restaurants right now.

For one, I think it'd be a pretty nifty dining experience to have something like that set up as my dining table.

nnweb · 05-30-2007, 11:09 AM

cnet has a good demo video.

this thing looks awesome.
