Microsoft stellt "Surface" vor

Zitat

In addition to recognizing fingers, Surface can recognize inanimate objects. Microsoft has developed a 3/4" square tag called a "domino" that can be attached to objects so that Surface can interact with them on the fly. Instead of relying on RFID, the domino tag uses dots to encode its information (hence the name). There is a single dot in the center of the tag, three dots on one side for orientation, and space for eight more dots that are read as data. Essentially, it's a one-byte data tag.

[...]For communications, Surface features a standard Ethernet connection, WiFi, and Bluetooth, which opens the door to some incredibly slick-looking applications. In one, demonstrated in a Popular Mechanics video clip, Surface automatically detects a WiFi-enabled camera placed on the table and immediately downloads photos from the device. These "spill out" onto the table, where they can be sorted, resized, and edited by hand. Surface automatically establishes WiFi connections with Zunes placed on the table and could be used as a music kiosk or a way to push narrated tours to museum patrons.

[...]When might we see Surface available on consumer-priced products? Only the market knows that. For now the $5,000-$10,000 devices will likely be limited to high-end commercial uses and perhaps featured in a rap video or two. How's that for bling?
