How the 'Milan' table PC was born

Microsoft ahead of Jeff Han? Don't think so: So you're saying a multi-touch-sensitive display is less advanced than a system
that relies on five cameras and a projector? I don't think so. AFAIK, Milan does not
use visual recognition of objects placed on the screen, but rather a combination of
RFID and Bluetooth wireless technologies to know what's been placed on it.

If you place your digital camera on the surface, Milan won't be able to display your
photos unless yours is one of the few digital cameras to have built-in Bluetooth,
and the correct drivers are installed into Vista (good luck with that one!).; Posted by: KaplanMike Posted on: 05/30/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
