sl114 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Thats cool, ive seen a few demos of this and (not microsoft) and its very impressive. Only issue is strain on your body as you are touching and viewing the same screen, so not sure how its going to work in offices etc in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 At the moment its not really an office tool, they are aiming at retail outlets etc (see the example of the guy comparing two mobile phones). Also hotels, allowing people to buy/pay for meals or book trips etc.. Coming out November this year in the US aparrently - id give it 12 to 24 months before there is some real purpose to having these in an office environment. Price tag of $5,000 to $10,000 apparently.

Chris`I Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 That would be damn good for the monster of all Ab Initio (geeky data manipulation tool) graphs I am developing atm. Being able to fling bits around and have it on a massive screen and have others interact with it at the same time would be awesome, would literally half my development time! How long before it BSODs?
