There’s a nifty site here that showcases a new gizmo from Microsoft. Essentially it’s a 30″ flat-panel display with multi-touch capability built into a table. The assertion that it has already changed our world is rather grandiose but it is a pretty neat welcome-to-the-future sort of thing.
It would never work for me, though. Any flat surface within reach soon disappears under books, CDs, laptop computers, tea cups, origami paper, etc. Maybe a vertical orientation would be better since it would prevent me from putting stuff on it.
