CES Microsoft Keynote / surface gen 2

[falcarrion]

I just finish watching the live keynote from Microsoft.
In the keynote was a demo of the Microsoft surface 2nd gen.
I was impressed on how far they have come with it.
The unit is now just 4 inches thick and can be mounted horizontal or vertical.
It used new tech called pixel sense technology.

The new technology uses infrared sensors inside the screen and hardware decoding to allow developers to create unique new applications for Surface. Microsoft demonstrated the ability for the cameras to read the text on a piece of paper accurately.

The unit is powered by a multicore cpu and gpu by AMD.

No idea of the price yet.

Microsoft really needs to attach the Kinect to that. but then that would be overkill... but it would be cool.

Damn it I want my Minority Report Stark virtual interface!
