Microsoft Surface
We are all used to manipulating computers using keyboards and mice. To play games you might use joysticks or game controllers. But if you look at the way we deal with computers when we are discussing something we usually point or touch the screen, move our hands around to show where something should be or express an idea. However if you really want to do it, you have to go back to the mouse or the keyboard and then do the actual action.
Not any more!!! Microsoft just released a new piece of technology “Microsoft Surface” which allows you to play with computers using your bare hands, pointers and actual devices like cell phones and cameras. This is way more than what we have seen a touchscreen can do but instead of explaining what it is about I might as well show it to you. Check out the video below:
Check out the videos on the Microsoft site as well. Jeff Hann featured in the above video gave a multi touch demo at TED. Check that out here:
P.S.: I was so excited about this and wanted to blog it that I found a plugin to embed video just for this post
