What a great video I got to watch this week. I’m just amazed of the creativity and the brain power that’s out there. This video was about surface computing. This is a new type of computer in the form of a coffee table. Popular mechanics went to Microsoft to discuss a top secret project code named “Milan”. It works well when you use pictures, maps and menus. It allows you to directly touch the images and make them larger or smaller. Basically it allows you to manipulate and interact with few images and graphics at a time.
My favorite part was that this new technology allows you transfer content from one device to another. The example they used was a picture taken from a wireless camera and they transferred the picture to a cell phone with a touch of finger. Both items were on the surface computer when the transferring occurred. There was no downloading or wires to connect. I thought that was awesome. This new technology will find its way to our homes eventually. It’s mainly aimed for large companies like T-mobile, Casinos and the Starwood Hotels the machine will cost from five thousand to ten thousand dollars. I thought this was great, I can see it being used in the classroom one day it would sure make geography more enjoyable.
