Checks your cholesterol, blood sugar, does a tox screening on you, forwards the results to the police and your physician, and criticizes your technique.

Does it verify the age of the woman on the table? :confused:

Very cool link. I wonder what the folks at Apple are doing. Their technology is always superior to Microsoft. I expect Apple to beat Microsoft to the market with this kind of stuff.

They said these tables will be for sale at the end of the year in the $5 - $10 K range. I suppose in about 3 - 5 years, "desktop" versions will be available for the average consumer.

[MrNightly]

Looks like Minority Report stuff. Very cool.

I wondered how long it would be before this technology came out... Or actually, before it was made public to to us simple folks!

[SLOCOOKN]

Along the same lines!

Those futuristic movies are getting closer to being reality.

I agree with Early in that I can see Apple bringing this to the home before Microsoft much in the way they did with McIntosh vs. IBM.

I wonder what it would do if I sat on it naked, indian style.

How did you see my Xerox that I took of myself at my work?!?

[JimBRICK]

will it give me my hourly paris hilton updates?

[engtaz]

That looks great. But does MS mess it up.

[goingganzo]

i see it soon most of the things are already out there all they have to do is link them togher. can you say what vista could have been

[janmike]

That is cool. Wonder the the $ tag is?

[BaggedLancer]

That is cool. Wonder the the $ tag is?

If i had to guess I'd say between $5k and $10k exactly as the video said. :D

I guess it would have helped if I had the sound on. :eek: Then again that is ONLY what they said.

I wonder where the CTRL-ALT-DELETE buttons are located?

I love that video!

[Early B.]

I wonder where the CTRL-ALT-DELETE buttons are located?

Yeah, and how do you type on that thing?

It will suck when you get the BSOD and have to reboot your coffe table.

[BaggedLancer]

I wanna know when they are going to make a coffee table that actually makes coffee!

[dudeinaroom]

I wonder where the CTRL-ALT-DELETE buttons are located?

Joe

Just extend your middle finger, and put it down on the table.(at least that's what I would have mapped as CTRL-ALT-DEL)

[audiobliss]

Dang. Man, that is amazing. That kind of interaction...with a computer...instantaneously...that's incredible. I wonder what the specs on it are. I'm sure it has to be FAST with a TON of RAM.

I can't wait for this kind of technology to become more common place!

[m00npie]

I'm anxious to see what Apple has in the works. I’m sure they have something already in development designed for the individual consumer as MSoft is targeting the corporate customers first.

I bet MSoft or Apple will have a retail product available by Christmas 08.

You're probably right. Somehow they've gotta find a way to "flatten" the technology so it can be used as a laptop with a pull-out keyboard. The screen needs to be able to pivot. I don't think consumers would be interested in purchasing a "desk" or coffee table-type apparatus. I would imagine it would require lots of RAM and a minimum of 500 gigabytes of memory or more.

BTW -- If I recall correctly, the iPhone will have some of this stuff in it where you use your fingers instead of a stylus to do all sorts of neat things.

Imagine getting your iPhone back from your friend after he asks to see it for a sec...while he's eating cheetos....

...or after he's just picked his nose, scratched his balls, or plucked the underwear out of his crack.

I do all those, but I try and lick my fingers in between.
