Surface Computing = Wicked.

Check out this video on Surface Computing by Microsoft!



I came across this a few weeks ago and really want to share it. I figure a lot of people know about this technology already, but I thought I would post it anyway!

I am not sure how this could be used in the field of Public History, but really, the possibilities seem endless - from interactive museum maps, to photographs of artefacts being enlarge and manipulated, to uploading a virtual museum tour onto your cell phone, this new surface computing could add a lot of pizzazz to an exhibit, display, or meeting (and it only (!) costs $5,000-$10,000).
