Lumino Project
The Lumino Project is still very new and there isn't much known about it, but this tech demo that was just released has revealed some amazing concepts surrounding Microsoft Surface. There were two parts to this tech demo video. The first part was a lego building type of application in which the Surface actually recognized the object that was placed on it in the third dimension. It even recognized objects placed on top of that object based on certain design techniques for the blocks. It showed him creating a bridge between two, and then it showing up on the Surface screen. He also showed this same concept in a game of checkers, with the game prompting the user to king itself, and then recognizing it. The screen would even show the user hints once their hand was placed on the piece. The second section showed of the possibilities with photo manipulation. They had two pieces stacked on each other, with one changing the saturation, and the other changing the color. It's an amazing tech demo and just the beginning of what could be one of the most useful inventions to come out of Microsoft in a while.
