Lets not forget that it uses projectors!! It's 2009 and we are well into the digital realm. To use projectors to emulate the iPhone and iPod Touch UI is a step back.

This comment doesn't even make logical sense.

What tech in 1995 was like this? You actually knew about multi-touch in the mid-90s. Assuming you weren't actually born in the late 80s and are just pulling BS out of your ass.

This is mainly a commercial product. For example they could have this in a cellphone store and when you place a cellphone on it, it recognizes the phone and shows you the features of the phone and plans available for that specific phone. Then when you put your credit card on the table, it recognizes it and offers you choices.

Object recognition is one of the main features of this thing. Place a tiny model car on it at a car dealership and it shows you various options available to customize that specific car, display it's pictures/videos etc. So yah, not much of a use at home but for businesses, it could provide an excellent customer experience. Gee, I think I sounded like a Microsoft representative LOL.]]>May 17th 2009 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/17/microsofts-surface-gets-its-first-service-pack-devs-and-yacht/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/17/microsofts-surface-gets-its-first-service-pack-devs-and-yacht/May 17th 2009 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/17/microsofts-surface-gets-its-first-service-pack-devs-and-yacht/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/17/microsofts-surface-gets-its-first-service-pack-devs-and-yacht/May 17th 2009 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/17/microsofts-surface-gets-its-first-service-pack-devs-and-yacht/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/17/microsofts-surface-gets-its-first-service-pack-devs-and-yacht/May 18th 2009 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/17/microsofts-surface-gets-its-first-service-pack-devs-and-yacht/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/17/microsofts-surface-gets-its-first-service-pack-devs-and-yacht/May 18th 2009 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/17/microsofts-surface-gets-its-first-service-pack-devs-and-yacht/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/17/microsofts-surface-gets-its-first-service-pack-devs-and-yacht/"To use projectors to emulate the iPhone and iPod Touch UI is a step back."

As well, the setup requires a keyboard mouse? So what? It's a DIR setup. It can't be used until it's been calibrated. So yes, it needs a keyboard and mouse.

As well, there is no existing technology that allows for the imaging of a flat surface the way the surface does without a projector. You NEED cameras for this. You can't use a touchscreen. Can an iPhone or iPod touch recognize an object placed on it's position, orientation and type? Of course not! It's the wrong technology for it.]]>May 17th 2009 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/17/microsofts-surface-gets-its-first-service-pack-devs-and-yacht/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/17/microsofts-surface-gets-its-first-service-pack-devs-and-yacht/May 17th 2009 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/17/microsofts-surface-gets-its-first-service-pack-devs-and-yacht/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/17/microsofts-surface-gets-its-first-service-pack-devs-and-yacht/May 18th 2009 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/17/microsofts-surface-gets-its-first-service-pack-devs-and-yacht/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/17/microsofts-surface-gets-its-first-service-pack-devs-and-yacht/
Awww, Zues God/Mr. Clicky U=unable to participate because he's is lacking in ideas, cannot stay on subject and worse ending up as a "cheerleader" is quite humiliating. Again projectors are a step backwards, more and more products are having RFID embedded with them. Typical of Microsoft to fail on this regard. Typical of Zues God to FAIL!
