Microsoft Surface


Check out this exciting new product from Microsoft called Surface. This goes to show that Microsoft still has some of the smartest people in the world working for them. Surface is one of the most interesting new interfaces to come out in a long time. So what is surface?

"Surface is a 30-inch display in a table-like form factor that’s easy for individuals or small groups to interact with in a way that feels familiar, just like in the real world. Surface can simultaneously recognize dozens and dozens of movements such as touch, gestures and actual unique objects that have identification tags similar to bar codes. "

Around the end of this year we should begin seeing Surface in hotels, restaurants, retail establishments and public entertainment venues. You can bet they will have Surface at CES 2008 and hopefully we get to play with it. I was already excited about going to CES again this is just icing on the cake. I'll be keeping an eye on this product.

Look at Mii!

As most of the regular listeners know I'm a big fan of the Wii. There's been a few people tell me that they think Nintendo should put me on the payroll. One of the fun things about the game is your own customizable character avatars or in Nintendo-ese your "Mii". Some of my favorite games on the Wii make use of the Mii in the game. In Wii Sports and Wii Play you can use your personalized Mii. In Wii Sports the Mii's on your system get to be the people in the crowd. Now FIFA 08 is going to make use of the Mii. Read about it here: iTWire - Look at Mii! I’m in FIFA 08
