It's definitely the "pen computing" of the '00s. Let's get over it quickly and move on to something useful.]]>Apr 2nd 2009 7:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/Apr 2nd 2009 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/Apr 2nd 2009 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/Apr 2nd 2009 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/
it was pretty interesting, pretty complicated when trying to make sounds.
it didnt seem like the microsoft surface at all though because of its limited uses.]]>Apr 2nd 2009 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/
WOW! i can't track multiple RFID devices and there positions...WE GET IT..there is much better uses...its not that incredible, and multitouch is way beyond that....

It's almost as stupid as dropping 2000 bucks for a lemur. ]]>Apr 2nd 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/Apr 2nd 2009 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/
Two problems that... aren't problems. And if they were, they could be solved just as (if not more) easily with a card reader or Call button at your table. This is like the never-ending effort to sell the "connected home", where "your toaster can talk to your refrigerator over a network, and the refrigerator can communicate with the oven!" Uh, never mind the fact that you have to physically take the ham out of the refrigerator, unwrap it, put it in a pan, open the oven, and put the ham in.

It's great that there are companies and people out there willing to try different interfaces, and someday we'll see something truly useful. But this is one gimmick that's been driven into the ground and still hasn't borne fruit. Let's move on.]]>Apr 2nd 2009 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/Apr 2nd 2009 7:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/Apr 2nd 2009 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.z-tar.com this just doesn't evoke the glam rock white gold imagery I have if a musical instrument

Even if you had Windows or OSX on one of these multi-touch devices they wouldn't work.

Someone needs to build an OS from the ground up to work on these multi-touch tables.]]>Apr 2nd 2009 7:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/Apr 2nd 2009 7:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/Apr 2nd 2009 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/Apr 2nd 2009 8:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/Apr 2nd 2009 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/And it's just because you don't do much with it after all.

Well, at least I haven't seen any other application besides that music table yet, although this is simple enough to be demonstrated.
Also, it'd be better if there was nothing to be used over the table. Just the table itself = good. The table plus thingies over it = not good.]]>Apr 2nd 2009 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/Apr 2nd 2009 8:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/Apr 2nd 2009 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/Apr 5th 2009 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/Apr 2nd 2009 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/Apr 2nd 2009 9:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/reactable-multitouch-table-musical-instrument-goes-into-produc/
