But what about the price, it wont be affordable at $10000. Hope it becomes a reality. I saw the video and looks really promising stuff. But what about the price, it wont be affordable at $10000.

In fact people have been <a href="http://www.billbuxton.com/multitouchOverview.html" rel="nofollow">working on it for quarter of a century</a>.I mentioned it in my article : <blockquote>We have seen similar technologies before (remember Touchtable?). But, they have all been mere <strong>concepts or prototypes</strong>. This is the first time something like this is going to be <strong>produced on a large scale</strong></blockquote> And that is certainly quite an achievement. Also, I dont think Object Recognition was present in either Touchtable or Perceptive Pixel. I agree that Multi-Touch Technology itself isnt new.

Microsoft is known for doing this every new technology as Microsoft *partnering* in it and sabotaging it for there own profit once it become big. They never did contribute the financial , nor paid most of the developer who worked on it and they are hidding the fact that its not even there technology to begin with and that they are leasing it just like Apple does for the iPhones and probably leopard. Look up www.perceptivepixel.com/ , they are the company who are behind pusing and developing the technology , Microsoft is just rebranding there own version and as usual will probably make it there own by breaking compatibility down the road. :mrgreen: No , not at all , you know who deserve the absolute 100% credit but is sidetracked by the guy who lead the project and has takem it outside the environment it was built in :
