Recently, Microsoft make an anouncement for a new computer device, Surface
It looks like a table, but is a computer display that can be touched by 10 points simultanous.
Using your finger only, you can rotate an object on the screen, resize it, and move it.
In addition with actual RFID technology :
. Credits cards
. Indentity cards
. Ipod
. Phones
. Cameras
. PDA
...
The data Transfert is easily enabled.
You want to know how it run?
This is because there is 5 InfraRed cameras included inside.
So, it's not really "Touch control", but "Contact Object Deformation"
All objects can be recognized if already included in memory.
. Water bottle
. Whisky glass
. Pencils and paperbook
. the seller of my girlfriend's pull-over (written on the short label under)
. Maybe H!P CD too?
There is some important points of this technology :
. 30 " display
. 2 Gb save EPROM only
. Pentium 4, 3 Ghz
. Windows VISTA
. Permanent W3 access
. 10'000 $ if you want to buy it
. All data on your Credit Card is automatically transfered in the computer memory.
(So take care, you may lost your money!)
