One for my living room and one for my kitchen, please! It’s definitely not a question of needing the thing, it’s a question of wanting it. One for my living room and one for my kitchen, please!

This is the beginning of the computing interface for everyone, from families at home to restaurants, pubs, libraries and so on. Today's interfaces will have to be redesigned to work with this but the tasks we do today will be better for multi-touch screens. I’d have to disagree with that last comment.

Fri, 01 Jun 2007 11:37:10 +0000 http://robburke.net/2007/05/30/microsoft-surface/#comment-13 @robburke: Even if Surface does cost an arm and a leg, it's not meant for the common computer tasks of today. You don't _need_ this thing. It's only for the rich and the specialized businesses which can afford it and can find a use for it. @robburke:

I have a feeling these Surface installations as of Winter 2007 will cost an arm and a leg (look at their Partners list). We were in a bar in Vegas during MIX that had a rig kinda like this set up, which responded to drinks, ashtrays, finger touches, etc., and I have no doubt it cost them a fortune. I would love one Surface in the kitchen and one in the living room, but I reckon we might have to wait a few years for that to become affordable...

I can see why they used Flash though, bit more market penetration at this point :) As for Surface itself... in Winter 2007, how much will I have to pay to get one is what I want to know. Excellent stuff. haha, that is the first thing I checked too, whether they were using Silverlight or not. I can see why they used Flash though, bit more market penetration at this point :)
