Microsoft Surface within a Collaborative Virtual World

July 17, 2011 Leave a comment

Attended a fantastic demonstration on Friday in a virtual world from the guys at VastPark.

Once in the world I was shown a seat at a microsoft style surface table, where Bruce Joy and Tim Glew from VastPark proceeded to introduce office documents, websites and other media onto the table.

I could take hold of each object, re-size and display each object full screen, whilst we all continued chatting via VOIP in the virtual world.

A fantastic piece of collaboration and I’m looking forward to seeing more from these guys.
