Microsoft has taken the touchscreen PC concept in a new direction, amping it up with a 30-inch screen, giving it five eyes and turning it horizontal to create a coffee table that can sense multiple touches at the same time. Based on Windows Vista and called “Microsoft Surface,” the new computer can also sense — through the use of five cameras mounted below the “surface” screen — everyday objects that have been tagged with a special sort of barcode label. “With Surface, we are creating more intuitive ways for people to interact with technology,” Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said.
