An awesome product from Microsoft (a first timer?). Would kill to 'get my hands on it'.

But it doesn't seem to be very feasible. $5000 for moving about pictures and drawing with fingers? No one's gonna want to buy this.

But it is nice to know where the future is heading though...

I saw this in the Headline News. First time I saw Vista it didn't impress me much but this one I was very impressed!!! Great product!

Shocking that someone technically savvy enough to be reading blogs and commenting could be so incredibly short-sighted!

I was absolutely blown away but the demo applications that were presented. Clearly these applications, including, but not limited to, the photo sharing & paint applications, are just the beginning... The possibilities of working with this interface are huge! I'm super excited about this platform, seeing how the early adopters go and then, hopefully, seeing standards come out, prices call, more application support, etc... Well done Microsoft, a superb innovation!

Remember that the initial versions of this technology are targeted at commercial installations...not homes. As such, the pricing is quite reasonable.

i like the idea of camera sensored. touch tracking, touch sensitive was going nowhere fast.

I think that the utilization of this product is stronger in commercial installations - retail, offices etc.

At least currently, i dont see great utility for it at a consumer level

- does anyone have any thougts?

This multi-touch, object positioning and orientation technology is can also be used in the field of live music performance.

These guys built their own "surface" in just over two years. The entire project is open source and your can build your own own surface using off the shelf parts.
