Hi,
I'm a new subscriber to this list so excuse me if this has been
discussed before.
I have tried searching the archives but to no avail. I am interested in
Microsoft Surface (http://www.microsoft.com/SURFACE/index.html) for
on-gallery exhibits but can't find any information about when it might
become available for this type of use in the UK.
So, my first question is - does anybody know anything about Microsoft
Surface beyond what is on their website?
My second question is - if they won't commit to a launch timetable, what
solutions are similar that we could use in the meantime? Which
interactive table exhibits already in existence are particularly good?
Are they always designed from scratch? Do they all involve a suspended
component (I have very high or absent ceilings in my museum!)?
I'd be interesting in all your experiences or musings on this subject so
if you don't want to reply to the list feel free to contact me directly.
Thanks,
Lyndsey
