HP Sprout

I keep meaning to post about this, I was at the Gadget Show recently and saw this.

me being gadget obsessed loved this. I remember years ago reading about a Microsoft future that would involve surfaces such as restaurant tables etc having something like this ability. Never happened.

I wonder if future 'Sprouts' will be arty focussed?

Anyway it's very cool. Have a looksee, look at the 'how to' tab for videos

The difference is that Microsoft's interactive table top was basically like a regular screen projecting from underneath the surface, while this thing is projecting down onto the surface like a film projector. It would drive me insane having everything obscured by shadows all the time.

See that bubble there banj? Stop bursting it!

Nope, can't see it as it's obscured by the shadow from my hands

At least I didn't burst it this time...

Now what I would like to see is a gadget that takes what you create on the computer and materialises it in r... oh wait, that's a 3D printer isn't it? Forget I said anything
