Microsoft's dream of putting a Windows computer on every desk in every home has now changed to incorporate all surfaces of your home. This newfound dream is heavily dependent on Microsoft's gesture recognition user interface, this technology would allow your personal computer to take shape in the wall, table top, counters and even the ceiling. Microsoft hopes that eventually all surfaces will have the ability to incorporate an inexpensive screen that has the ability to visualize what you are doing and act accordingly to pre-programmed gestures. This would allow users to leisurely read through emails, edit documents, replace existing teaching tools such as chalkboards and white boards and even aid in a sleeker and more centralized entertainment area. Bill Gates demonstrated the technology at a presentation at the Microsoft CEO Summit 2008, the technology was shown last year but was heavily flawed at the time, as of now many of the bugs have been fixed. Lets just hope Microsoft doesn't try to "watch" us in the bedroom and bathroom.
