Seems like you do a lot of work with RFID chips... :D

Does this run linux?

I'm not sure about the operating system. Unfortunately this was created after I left the Institute. :-(

Interesting !!! The Pocket PC's that they are using have Windows Mobile as the Operating System ... The table ... Not sure .

I've seen simlilar things before, like microsoftsurface or Philips Entertaible.

But the Yvio system is the onlyone that's really affordable and on the market. Still the Video is very interesting.
