you wouldn’t need to talk to your guests ………. sit them down in front of that and Bobs your uncle!!!! :lol1:

oh but think of the finger marks you’d need to constantly wipe off 😕

my coffee table right now has a small child on it, toast! and an assortment of Postman Pats, Bob the builder, and Batmans…..would it stand up to that! 😀 😀
Impressive piece of kit though -
Harry, you could easily get rid of the toast by putting it inside the child if you had a table like that :lol1: :lol1:

Amazing stuff.
I saw an article some time ago about that guy Asian guy in the clip, Jonathon, when he first came up with this concept. Everyone thought he was a loser, and absolute geek. He is an absolute genius though. Glad he’s got the last laugh . 😛

Very impressive! But will it work with a rabbit cutter? :lol1:

great idea
but I guarantee by the time Microsoft finish with it, it’ll be classless, difficult to use and full of bugs (that’s what Microsoft does best!).

Harry, you would need a bucket on the table and then just a big stick to use as a pointer :lol1:

Got me there Harry, I never thought of that one, mind you I wouldn’t want to be a visitor in your house after a couple of weeks :lol1:

i think this sort of thing would be brilliant in any sort of hotel/work/restaurant waiting room/reception. these days it is common to see a large plasma on the wall of some upmarket work places… ide guess they would be out about £1500-£2000 anyway, another £500 gets you this bit of ingenious technology.
-
I think the price will probably be a bit higher than that Robert, on the article they were talking between 5 & 10 thousand dollars so I would think we would be looking at a bit more you mentioned for them over here, still a very good investment for a lot of places though, I could see it bringing people in just out of interest.
