Another great multitouch table (and it seems to be in production as well)

Just read an article in dag (a Dutch free newspaper) about a multitouch table that actually is on sale already so no more waiting for the Microsoft surface anymore (unless you are looking for the sphere)


On bright.tv there is a nice clip of this table (in dutch but you get the point anyway when looking). This clip can be found at http://www.bright.tv/series/cantouch-tafel and shows a nice application as well. If your phone is tagged with a chip (but I guess this could be done via BT as well:) and multiple persons (well at least 2) put their phone on the table the social network of your contacts is made visible so you can see who is connected to whom and in which way. Great for any social environment like a bar but also a company's entrance area or restaurant/coffee bar


Since this version is already available developers are there as well so this might be a great opportunity to get one for your environment and let people play with their social networks, pictures and whatever you can think of




the companies website can be found at http://www.cantouch.nl/CanTouch/nederlands/main.html and they have an English version available.


The system is based on open source standards around multi touch (easy to find when looking for do it yourself multitouch) that proved their value already
