Earlier on this blog, i posted an article about Bumptop. Well, if you’ve seen that, now it’s time for Bumptop 2.0 with Microsoft Surface.I see myself in the future, going to the Ikea looking for a table. Asking the a salesman: “Is this table also available with a 1 Terrabyte harddrive?, does it got Wireless N?, what processor does it have?”. Salesman: “Do you mean the 40″ table or the 47″ table?” Yes, that’s how the future gonna be, sort off..What is it then? Microsoft Surface is looking like a big LCD screen, but got an interactive surface. It interacts with your hands (multi-touch, even with more people) and it interacts with objects like mobile phones, digital camera’s and even your can of beer :).Yes I see endless possibilites for the future. Videogames will be multi-user, this thing will bring the social life back to us. Get a couple of people around the table for a game of Monopoly, Risk or Poker. How about tables in the classroom? Teacher: “Please open your PDF’s on the table and read Chapter 1 till 4″. Configure your media devices easily by putting it on the display, like a remotecontrol for TV, that makes the screen an easy channel tv-guide. Put music to your MP3 by just dragging it. Share the appointments from your PDA. Look at this great video:

Yes it’s great, could it be more beautiful then this? Everybody seen the movie Minority Report? You can see Tom Cruise do the same thing like Microsoft Surface but… in open air.Wanted to show you this scene, but couldn’t find it anywhere (comment on this post, if you found it). But found another movie to get the feeling of this. Combine this movie with Microsoft Surface and you have a great product! Also check the Surface Website
