Yesterday, Microsoft demoed their new computer system dubbed Surface. It’s basically a mult-touch computer screen placed inside of a glass table. While you may be inclined to think (as I did) “Big deal, there are touch screen interfaces at Quick Chek - I’m fine with a keyboard and mouse” this video will show you some real-world uses for this technology. Just place your wireless camera onto the table and physically drag pictures into and out of it, without ever using a USB cable or syncing. When splitting a bill at a restaurant, everyone can just place their credit card on the table and drag their items onto their tab. Amazing!
