Microsoft's advertizing schemes make it's users seem as technologically inept as Mac users. Seriously.
Watch Microsoft execs be total jackasses when they try to make multi-input systems an open architecture. And their GUI has nothing on beryl.
The bottom line is that none of this is innovation. physical representations of files has been something in the works since the early 2000's, multi input devices were created long before microsoft took interest in them. In fact, microsoft didn't even make their product. They purchased it off another company. They've done very little work on actually creating applications and leave that for third parties even though they'll eventually have a Microsoft logo on them. Microsoft is basically going to fuck this technology over for everyone.
This thing would ruin table dancing at bars. Knowing my luck some drunk ass buddy would puke all over the damn thing or fall through it. Of course seeing him fry like a convicted murderer would make up for it.
I think that Mircosoft execs proved what kind of jackasses they were with Vista, and I'm sure there are plenty of other examples.
OHH Just go and ruin my fun Rhapsodisaic. :P Its not like the thing really exists. Chances are they created the images on the screen with an editing program like Final Cut Pro or After Effects. At any rate even if it was projected then he'd get a projecter up the ass. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Sorry, but yes this thing does exist. Take a loot at popularmechanics[dot]com/technology/industry/4217348.html. And I agree with grueslayer, none of this is new - it's just the first time anyone's put it all together in one box!
nanotechnology will usurp this HCI device. we'll soon have walls painted w/HD visuals and tactile inputs. after that (and some user training), infrared pickups can monitor your biofeedback, and that will become a mode of navigation.
