...or was it just a cheap camera or something?

this looked like the kind of fidelity i'd expect from a $300 proof-of-concept, not a $10,000 one... am i missing something?]]>Feb 28th 2008 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/Feb 28th 2008 8:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/
The demos of putting a camera on the table and having the pictures spill out--while nifty, are not really practical. I don't know about you, but looking down at a table is a lot harder to do than my LCD that is vertical.

Putting the cell phone down and having it list all my text messages with a virtual keyboard? Okay. That is cool. And useful.

Letting the waitress know my beer is almost empty? Again, cool and useful. Finally I won't have 3 rum and cokes on the table, because the 4 waitresses keep putting them on my table--and my tab--when I am still working on one.

Same with the credit card thing. Awesome, and very useful. Put my check card down. Sign, and input my PIN. Slider for the tip. Done.

I know this is just a tech demo, showing off multitouch input on a big table... but come on. When is this going to be in my dining room table? 5 years? 10? The ever-elusive 15 years?]]>Feb 28th 2008 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/
That never gave anybody any neck/back problems, so I'm unsure why people are saying that this will be the case now.]]>Feb 28th 2008 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/Feb 28th 2008 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/Feb 28th 2008 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/Feb 28th 2008 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/Feb 28th 2008 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/Feb 28th 2008 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/Take me where I cannot stand

you sound like you're one of those people who writes the FCC because a radio host offends you. - change the channel.]]>Feb 28th 2008 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/Feb 28th 2008 9:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-firefly-hungry-hungry-hippos-for-surface/Feb 28th 2008 3:23PM
