Microsoft Surface

Isn't it cool to have a computer like the one in the Minority Report? Controlling the things with just your hands. Now,Microsoft has recently came out with the new Surface technology which is just like the one in Minority Report on 29th May 2007. Microsoft has developed as a software and hardware combination technology that allows a user, or multiple users, to manipulate digital content by the use of natural motions, hand gesture, or physical objects. Surface is a Windows Vista PC tucked inside a table, topped with a 30-inch reflective surface in a clear acrylic frame. A projector underneath the surface projects an image onto its underside, while five cameras in the machine's housing record reflections of infrared light from human fingertips.

Here are some videos to let you know more about this cool technology:
