    They use this in the Vancouver Aquarium. Its sort of useless at home, since you can use a real computer, or if u want a touch screen an iPod or iPhone, or if u want to get ripped off, an iPad.

    @G1NZOU

    Realy? I can’t believe that we will drink in the future a cup of coffee on a virtual table..
    But the technologie will make it possible, because we have already a touch screen PC, iPhone, and that stuff… It’s awesome!

    @daveyv12345 Is real, I’ve seen one in person.

    You can place your iPhone down on it and (with an optical tag) it knows which phone in the vicinity to download photos off of, then you can share them with people as if they were real printouts.

    Trouble is, people always assume the next device is the only device.

    Think of having different sizes for different things, iPhone, notebook, Large screen home PC and Surface computers for restaurans and shops.

    You can get fingertapps with certain dells, such as the studio 19s and 17 now, which does a lot of the same things. (You just can’t do the stuff with the drinks and phones, but you can do everything with the pictures and multitouch.

    I told my dad this was real. He said if I looked it up and found it he’d believe me. I should have asked for money. Lol. But it’s too bad the only ones getting all of this awesome technology are big companies and the military. I need this in my house! I can’t keep track of all these wires and connectors! I can’t tell the difference between the USP cord for my music player and my cell phone. Of course, I lost my phone cord. It’s somewhere in a tangle of cords the size of a basketball.
