I found a research by MIT - made in 1999 :D.. also Jeff Han and of course Microsoft research.<BR/><BR/>I just want to say that there are a big different between ideas (researches) & products.<BR/><BR/>The idea is to get these ideas & researches out of the lab and get it mass-produced; this is what Microsoft has done. <BR/>In addition, as Ramy said, Microsoft used .Net Framework to build the applications used by this surface, this is really COOL ;).Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04143697391171947938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27659513.post-16869767401794237492007-06-15T23:10:00.000+03:002007-06-15T23:10:00.000+03:00@Ramy...It's not Ms R&D...Jeff Han the man behind ...@Ramy...<BR/><BR/>It's not Ms R&D...<B>Jeff Han</B> the man behind Ms Surface (the Asian looking guy) is from NYU's (New York University) Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences<BR/>http://www.cims.nyu.edu/<BR/><BR/>Here's his first presntation about "multi-touch interface design" which Ms Surface is an application of!!<BR/>http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/65<BR/><BR/>&<BR/><BR/>Here's his bio on TED talks http://www.ted.com/index.php/speakers/view/id/65<BR/><BR/>I've seen this presentation long long ago almost the same week I posted this http://shadym.blogspot.com/2007/02/ted-talks.htmlShady M.

If you haven't checked out the online videos of it yet, I highly recommend watching them here. It is one of those products that looks and feels like it comes from a science fiction movie - but it is actually real.<BR/><BR/>Popular Mechanics also has a good article (including their own video) of how it works that you can read and watch online here.<BR/><BR/>One of the really cool things about Microsoft Surface is that the table UI experience is built entirely using WPF and the .NET Framework - which is a great statement about the power of what WPF provides.<BR/><BR/><A>http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/05/30/<BR/>microsoft-surface-and-wpf.aspx</A>Ramy Mahroushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875204608099539248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27659513.post-8052344502801962342007-06-01T05:10:00.000+03:002007-06-01T05:10:00.000+03:00http://www.metacafe.com/watch/618189/microsoft_sur...<A>http://www.metacafe.com/watch/618189/microsoft_surface_computing_the_power/</A><BR/><A>http://www.metacafe.com/watch/618226/microsoft_surface_computing_the_possibilities/</A><BR/><A>http://www.metacafe.com/watch/617890/microsoft_surface_computing_the_magic/</A>Ramy Mahroushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875204608099539248noreply@blogger.com
