Microsoft Touch Screen

June 9, 2007 by Tricia

Bill Gates demonstrates Microsoft’s Touch Screen

I know I’m a few days late with this news but I absolutely love the idea of Microsoft’s new touch screen product. You’ve seen the technology to some extent in restaurants where waiters and waitresses can simply touch a screen to select a menu item and place the customers order.

Now this type of technology, greatly enhanced, will be coming to our homes in the near future. I’m sure the touch screen will be out of many peoples budges in the beginning but as it grows more popular I’m certain that many people will want to have and use this new tech product.

    This one is very over rates technology jump. Take a touch screen and turn i in its side and use it for a table?

    yes good idea but form seeing the tech reviews they only advance in this one over touchscreens is the increase in size and the idea that it could become affordable at a usable size.

    Tricia – Is this over the top? It reminds me of the original ‘Star Trek’ series with all their touch-screen and voice control gadgets. Maybe one day we can say ‘Beam me up Scotty (RIP)’. I know MS’s table top is quite pricey – but we’ll only have to wait a few years…right?

    Is this idea overhyped? Perhaps – but it looks pretty cool to me.

    I think the place where this really excels (and appeals to me) is not in entirely new technology – we’ve all used touchscreens before, we’ve all used wifi before, and we’ve all used online mapping software before – but rather in the conglomeration of old technologies for really creative and inventive purposes. slapping your credit card on a table to divvy up a bill? Brilliant. Using a truly intuitive visual interface to bridge the gap between your smartphone and your computer? Incredible.

    I am usually relatively unimpressed with new Microsoft releases, but this one blew me away.

    Bravo.
