[11] Fiction Finally Fact

I guess we've all been waiting for this since we saw Minority Report. But finally the fiction has become a fact! Microsoft introduces 'Microsoft Surface'. Briefly a digital coffee table which can be manipulated with your own hands. The added value to this oversized, horizontal touchscreen is that it interacts with other devices like digital cameras and cellphones. For example you take a photo with your digital camera. You place the camera on the MS Surface. The surface automatically extracts the photo from the camera and shows it on the screen. With your hands you can grab the photo, manipulate it (turn, resize) and for instance place it in your mobile phone which is on the surface as well!

Right now the product will only be sold to companies. Prices vary between 5.000 and 10.000 euro. Eventually this product will be available for everybody and in the future nobody will even be able to imagine a world without it!
