Everyone is getting excited about digital white boards but I think you can get just as good functionality with a wireless tablet and some software, but this type of interface would be really be useful in a classroom. It would be great to have a group of students gathered around a “learning coffee table” and these learning interfaces communicating to others “coffee tables around the world”. This type of interface would be great for young learners who have difficulty with fine motor control using a mouse, although many children are getting much better at this at a younger age. One comment made by a faculty member is why does the video show a multitude of device, phones, cameras. Maybe the future would be one device which has all the capabilities of a phone, pc, camera and is connected to other devices and the Internet via wireless. Any way have a look and tell me what you think and the future possiblities you believe such an interface could offer.
