[Seattle PI] After years of covert development, Microsoft says it will release a computer that uses the tabletop as its high-resolution display, recognizes objects placed on the surface and skips the traditional keyboard and mouse in favor of fingers on the screen.

I remember seeing PlayTable at a few of the MS TechFests. Glad to see that some interesting new technology is going to see the light of day - it will be interesting to see how this develops, and if ‘virtual air hockey’ will become the next solitaire.

More details are here at Engadget and a video at Microsoft’s On10.
