2008-05-06 15:08:00
“Windows, Linux and OS X supported” Microsoft’s revolutionary Surface computers have already hit the shelves of a few selected companies such as AT&T and it seems that this kind of approach will revolutionize the way we interact with our computers.

Following Microsoft’s success with Surface, a group of developers started an open-source project, also known as the Cubit, in order to deliver surface computing to the masses. While a genuine Surface computer is expected to sell later this year for about $10,000, the Eyebeam group developed a DIY multitouch kit that is available for a price between $500 and $1,000.
