    Fab idea!
    Though...where would I then store all the paperwork, books and cr4p that usually is dumped in a heap on the table?

    I have been wondering about the implications of 'putting your feet up'.....

    Probably it would scan your shoes, order you a new pair, at the same time do a chemical analysis of your feet and if needed order you some food deodorant.

    From the scan it could also digitally add smudges to your pictures to give them that realistic used look.

    (food deodorant... must find some of that for the kebab house down the road...)

    No.. you're quite wrong. I have one of those, albeit a scale model one.

    There are many things I lack.. originality , ferrari's , A copy of the Burning Crusade, the meaning of life..

    Ah yes, It would seem I also lack the ability to read my posts properly prior to posting

    There was a slightly different take on the Surface by Sarcastic Gamer.

    Still I see a lot of application for things like this even if it takes a couple of generations before they've nailed it.

    Re: I want one !!

    Has anyone put together instructions for a DIY or even open-source version yet ?

    The hard bit has been done - Atlas Gloves: A DIY Hand Gesture Interface for Google Earth.
    The rest is just joinery, PC, projector, webcams.
    Even the use of an acrylic sheet with edge-illumination for the touch sensor is documented.
    Maybe a little software ...
    It's just a matter of time !

    I might wait for the stereo version ...
