Then I saw the video, and I dont care, I want it - that is deeply cool. I hope they can do the whole "put devices on the table to access them" thing.Didnt someone else show a video of this a while back though? I can't remember if that was a microsoft project... re Surface Computing, I was going to say “yeah, okay, but I’m not sure how it’d be used in the home”.
