Microsoft first to the plate with Multi-touch Table Computing

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

In the wee hours of the morning last night, Microsoft unveiled a brand new product for POS interfaces – Microsoft Surface. It’s multi-touch, as seen in the computer demo videos that we’ve seen online for ages, and it is very similar to the interface of Apple’s upcoming iPhone.

This new technology from Microsoft, which is essentially a computer table, if popular, will bring about a fundamental change in the way we interact with computers. Fanboy bias aside…this is really, really cool.

There goes Microsoft again trying to claim some new technology as their own. I have no doubt in my mind that in the future we will all use some sort of Multi-touch interface, but it wasn’t Microsoft who discovered and developed throughout all of these years. They’re just taking advantage of the technology because, thanks to the iPhone, it has become a buzzword.

I liked it better when it was called Perceptive Pixel last year.
