The ‘Surface’ Project

The first things that came to my mind when I saw this gadget was: “Yes the good old pong is back in a new design” and immediately after that “oh and what a brilliant poker table”.
Ok, I must admin a pong/poker table that costs about 7000 euro’s is a bit decadent but hey … old skool rokz!

Microsoft is developing this idea and concept since 2001 and it should finally be available by the end of this year. I can image boardrooms will benefit greatly of this medium, as well as hotel lobbies and ofcourse my own living room. The only thing is … will we be able to get used to look at a horizontally placed screen. We don’t watch TV from above too. Most of the times the practical side wins from the design side, let’s see who will win this time.
