DIY Multi-Touch Tabletop "Surface PC"

Posted by kdawson on from the beneath-the-surface dept.

notthatwillsmith writes "We've all seen the nifty demos of Microsoft's Surface PC. Now Maximum PC details how you can put together your own multi-touch tabletop PC. The article shows how you can build the cabinet and combine that with a standard PC, a decent projector, about $350 worth of assorted hardware (cameras, lenses, mirrors, and screens), and a handful of free apps to build your own Surface-like PC — without giving Microsoft $10,000."

    Really, what would happen if some innocent person posted some question that was offensive to the powers that be here on slashdot? Would it attract the moderation of astroturf accounts? Would nobody find it interesting or insightful? Or would it disappear into the -1 zone where nobody would read it? If it was funny, would people moderate it interesting instead because funny gives no karma against the detractors who subtract? We shall see.
