saint:
Yeah - buddy at work reminded me of that this morning. We were wondering if Microsoft bought or stole the technology, or if they developed it independantly.

boykster:
Well, I KNOW they've been working this project over at Redmond for at least 3 years...ie they've had the technology "in-house" for it.  My guess is that a 3rd party company has developed the hardware interface, and MS has either copied it or licences it and then buried any reference to the 3rd party. 

the KNOW part is because they showed a tech demo of this system over 2 years ago at a MS tech days that I attended over at their research center.  It was neat then, its neat now.

shardian:
 Very cool looking, but also very gimmicky.
