Can anyone explain the potential uses for such a device? I could see if it was extremely portable, and maybe that is the goal, but beyond that I'm a bit perplexed. (Not that being perplexed is an unusual state for me...)]]>Jan 7th 2010 8:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/light-blue-optics-light-touch-turns-any-surface-into-a-color-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/light-blue-optics-light-touch-turns-any-surface-into-a-color-to/i'm sure there are countless great uses for this, but all i can think right now is that this would be amazing for playing board games with my friends when on vacation or on the road.]]>Jan 7th 2010 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/light-blue-optics-light-touch-turns-any-surface-into-a-color-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/light-blue-optics-light-touch-turns-any-surface-into-a-color-to/
baby steps. Imagine this technology in your smartphone of choice, 5 years from now. A multicore 2ghz + processor, you plop it on the table, and whammo, you've laptop/tablet/slate like functionality/visibility in a device that fits in your shirt pocket.


but, of course, you're going to need some 3d thrown in to make it worthwhile.... ]]>Jan 7th 2010 8:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/light-blue-optics-light-touch-turns-any-surface-into-a-color-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/light-blue-optics-light-touch-turns-any-surface-into-a-color-to/
With this, I can use the computer anywhere. No need to haul around bulky laptops. Also, I can see an interaction of this device with a standard notebook. Simply write with a pencil on paper, and this thing will be able to read it, store it...

Think of all the companies that spend millions on touchscreen kiosks, and all the companies that wish they could afford to do the same. Imagine sitting down at your local pub/restaurant/casino - each table has a set of projectors that you can use to order a beer, watch a game, play some trivia, gamble, or play a game between your friends. All without having to worry about spilling your beer or dropping your glass mug on a $1000 touchscreen device. This is a giant step in drunk-proofing the world, and yet making it a happier place for drunks to be in. I, for one, salute them.]]>Jan 7th 2010 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/light-blue-optics-light-touch-turns-any-surface-into-a-color-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/light-blue-optics-light-touch-turns-any-surface-into-a-color-to/Jan 7th 2010 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/light-blue-optics-light-touch-turns-any-surface-into-a-color-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/light-blue-optics-light-touch-turns-any-surface-into-a-color-to/Jan 7th 2010 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/light-blue-optics-light-touch-turns-any-surface-into-a-color-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/light-blue-optics-light-touch-turns-any-surface-into-a-color-to/

And for the Trolls, WindowsCE is alive and well running most of the devices you use day to day. Think of all your current GPS devices. Microsoft is just not making noise about it anymore.
