Microsoft’s New tabletop computer interface is an amazing design for a Pc. Its in the shape of a coffee able and is completely interactive via hands the table is still being developed but will be sold to restaurants casinos and bars. This device is multi touch which means it can have two people controlling it unlike a mouse this device will be able take more than one task. This new interface can also transfer files wirelessly so instead of having to transfer files from a camera with a cable you’d simply place the camera on top of the tabletop and it would extract all the photos and videos from the camera or any device that can contain such files, this information can also be transferred wirelessly, tabletop also takes credit cards details when it is simply put on to the screen customers will be able to over the dish they would like pay for the meal and set how much to tip without having to move to the reception it would seem. The tabletops screen has cameras beneath it capturing the motions of the users hands and reacting to those movements. The table top already has a few programs being tested and run on it a new version of paint , jigsaw and world of war craft and these programs look incredible. It seems as if this interface will definetly be successful because it outruns the use of wires and the creators said it could be the new remote that you could not lose meaning that once this device will be able to control your tv. My view of the tabletop is that it is quite a good device its seems to be a computer just in the form of a coffee table but just a bit more flashy and just because it is touch screen it would excite people as I think the macbook did but the computer may never be surpassed however this tabletop can be operated by at least 3 people at once and looks very easy to use so it will definetly be big. I think this device will have a positive but also a negative affect upon society and I say this because with this tabletop its an advancement in technology and it looks easy and enjoyable to use I think this device would be a great household item but now there is less human contact with this table and this is true for alot of technology advancements very few waiters will be needed because now orders will not need to be taken just delivered and another person loses their job to a machine. Overall I think that the tabletop is a good device and looks to be very successful.
