Imagine a large boardroom table built with this technology.  Much higher resolution and connected to your network.  It would be very cool if you could pull up documents at will from the server and "pass" them to other meeting attendees.  Or make quick sketches with your fingers during a brainstorming session which others can manipulate as well.  I wonder what kind of money it would take to implement something like that.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[robjennings]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 18th 2009 6:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Video: Epson's multitouch X-Desk is your next coffee table]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/18/video-epsons-multitouch-x-desk-is-your-next-coffee-table/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/18/video-epsons-multitouch-x-desk-is-your-next-coffee-table/</guid><description><![CDATA[I used one of these the other day and can honestly say they have done a pretty good job of doing a coffee table computer.<br><br>(yes it is alot like Microsoft Surface)<br><br>However, it does do exactly as it says on the tin, interacting with mobile phones, fingers, glasses, etc. all the usual coffee table stuff. It did lag at times, not enough to doubt it however, but the thing that impressed me most was how well it could handle multiple points of contact. There must of been 10-20 fingers on the display at some points however it was able to still do everything the user was trying to do and well! Near enough always without lag (obviously the times it did lag was when there was loads of things people were trying to do all at once!)<br><br>Mobile phone interaction could be very handy, works just like in Surface, place the phone down on the device, pops up with spec information, space left, all your photos appear in the background, music etc. It was also noted that it is compatible with any mobile phone via bluetooth. Didn't see it work with any phone other than what they provided however, so don't know how well that actually works. Can have more than one on it as once to obviously, which also worked really well!<br><br><br>Overall I was impressed with the it, had a very very good none-reflective screen that was very crisp and easy to read which is definitely a very important part of a device like this!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sd]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 19th 2009 2:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Video: Epson's multitouch X-Desk is your next coffee table]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/18/video-epsons-multitouch-x-desk-is-your-next-coffee-table/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/18/video-epsons-multitouch-x-desk-is-your-next-coffee-table/</guid><description><![CDATA[It also uses speech recognition to understand your hand gestures.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[notexactly]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 9th 2009 4:28PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
