Microsoft Surface

in design, digital composition, hardware, remix

Back in October, I posted about the Blue Eye "smart table" that allowed users to copy 2D and 3D objects almost instantaneously, as well as remix and store them. Now Microsoft has come out with a similar project, dubbed Surface, which incorporates other features, like the ability to upload and download images simply by setting your camera or cellphone on the table's surface.

Way wicked remix technology

NewScientistTech is reporting on a "smart table" that instantaneously turns 2-D and 3-D objects into digital images that can be manipulated by touch and even animated. Check out the video on Blue Eye, developed by researchers at Eindhoven University, Netherlands. Like the Fingertip Digitizer, Blue Eye is making multimedia digital technology ever more haptic, not to mention black box. Now I just want to know the (unaffordable) pricetag on this baby--probably me and about a zillion would-be game designers.
