| Re: Microsoft Surface
Ive seen something very similar to this when I was visiting a friend in Edinburgh, back in feb. Confused the utter heck out me watching him use it, it seems like a pain in the arse really. Waggle your fingers all over your monitor to make things go elsewhere......or use your mouse and do it wihin the space of 1 inch.
meh, its a novelty I guess

This is Jeff Han's concept. I just wonder if they've licensed it or copied it. | |

This reminds me that the future will be shiny, beautiful and frightening. I wonder what people in the 70's felt like upon experiencing the change from tetris to xbox 360.
Thoughts of SKYNET kicked in about half way through.

I'm sure more than just one guy has come up with this idea over the years. Just because ones went public with it doesn't mean others arn't working on it behind the scenes. Quote:
