Microsoft Surface is a revolutionary multi-touch computer that responds to natural hand gestures and real-world objects, allowing for interaction with digital content in a simple way. With a large, horizontal user interface, Surface offers a whole new experience when multiple users can simultaneously interact with data and each other.
Key Features
- Direct Interaction: interaction made directly with contact via touch or gesture, without the use of a mouse or keyboard
- Multi-user experience: large 30 inch screen display enables several people to interact simultaneously with the Microsoft Surface
- Multi-touch: responds to many points of contact simultaneously, not just from one finger
- Object recognition: physical objects can be placed on screen to trigger different types of digital responses
Xbox 360 Project Natal
Project Natal is a electronic installation (size of a bar) that sits above or below your TV, having close resemblance to WII's sensor bar. However instead of sensing controllers, this device has a camera, sensors and a microphone inside that enables it to get an accurate sense of your space and you in it. This lets you control games just by moving around; kicking, jumping, or whatever body motions you engage in.
Key Features
- control video games and menus using your body instead of peripheral controls
- voice and full body motion control over your on-screen avatar
iMac Holograms
The holographics are amazing and of course this is not restricted to iMac or Apple OS/platform only. The favorite childhood toys we used to play (Lego) actually used this Holographic programing to let their customers know the look of the final assembled product in the box. It is done by scanning their product with a video camera in store and the 3D holographic will actually appear. Not only that, the customers are able to rotate and view their product from various angle. It is impressive =)
