A closer look at Microsoft Sphere

[coolkidcater]

i can do that with my balls

[pewster31]

Maks me thing of men in black for some reason.

[kaderoder]

This looks like a ball.

[banders303]

the only thing this would be good for would be Google Earth.

[WickedDragon86]

Its cool but I see this only being used for geography purposes like in classrooms to teach kids about the planets and Earth.

[partyguy9]

this is stupid. It makes the SURFACE's technology seem cheap. dont be bothering with this sphere crap until we have holograms k?

[entrailsgalore]

@partyguy9 Then come up with something better and post a video showing us.

[TheLovesoul1]

i want some spagetti.

[ThreeKProduction]

whats the fucking point

[entrailsgalore]

@ThreeKProduction Uh...Control consoles for star ships?? Duh!

[xalener]

@ThreeKProduction

No points on a sphere.

I don't care if it's a year late, it was fucking worth it.

[aml25]

@ThreeKProduction Because monitors (flat panel displays) and keyboards and mice are an awful and very uninspiring way of interacting with computers. Here you can already imagine the ways in which it (the computer) can enter the world as an object to interact with. One which allows for mutl-user interaction and collective experience. A much more intuitive and FUN way of interacting with a computer....

[Chinaheartforever]

You wounder...'Touch screen' is siutble for develop computer 'Porn games' in the future !!

[Chinaheartforever]

It's very funny feelings when you see someone in the ball and they are talking to you!!! We should change our home phone to this!!!

[Chinaheartforever]

Use as a 'cam phone' maybe is more intresting on this kind of thing!

[HyperFoxIII]

magical crystal ball

[Sluggen]

This is stupid, why would you want a sphere computer, it just doesn't make any sense.

[irishbrodie]

@Sluggen

For teaching you frikin numbskull

[jampotkwl]

how much?

[sillystuff333]

surface meets globe... BOOM dead bat

[5thheadofcerberus]

imagine using this with a cloud of nanomachines drifting about...

[SUPERxSPYDER]

hey man wana come over and look at pictures on my sphere? YEAH lets do it

i just dont see this being of any use why not just send the pics with your phone

[GaryTroy]

He's Got The Whooooole World...In His Hands.

[spideybluefalcon]

man, this is cool, but totally useless

[15Protech]

ok i like the surface, du this is just useless

[beccashreck]

It would be good for interactive globe displays in a Museum. It could show how the continents formed, or how ice melt may effect the coastline, or how satellites move across the earth, or how Rome conquered and retreated. I really don't think this is meant for home use. I don't know why they are showing photos on it, how dumb.

[SUPERxSPYDER]

i agree useless in your home

[dokuja]

Finally, someone understands that what I really hate about computing is sitting in a comfortable chair using a keyboard and mouse. Thank god someone has the balls to make me stand up and use my hands on a sphere to look at pictures of my vacation. These guys are brilliant.

[darkironfrenzy]

I agree. Ive always felt looking at flat pictures on a flat surface detracted from the experience; distorting them onto a curved surface provides a much richer experience. Thanks microsoft for providing it!

[rono243]

agreed but the option to use your hands would be nice if your one of the poeople who can never find there pointer like me and i just lost it typing this :P

[fallenxlionheart]

gimme that...microsoft ftw

[maticoff]

this will be so expensive and pointless, what the hell were they thinking. LOL

[stainwalk]

as pointles as... i dont know, whats something really pointless like this microsoft surface crap

[changmaster14]

next: the microsoft feel you up the ass chair!!!

[alessandro10561]

where can i get one of those?!

[youyouboy12]

it would be better if the lights were off

[abundantsnotbob]

How does the camera tell if you're touching the top or bottom of the sphere, since it's a two dimensional view of a three dimensional object.

[ajk321]

omnidirectional data...

[SmileHeart4ever]

AWESOME !!!!! LONG LIVE MICROSOFT
