Microsoft’s Sphere provides 360-Degree of Multi-Touch Goodness
July 29, 2008 by Kiltak |The Sphere, a new product from Microsoft Research, has all the same feature as a traditional multi-touch screen, but mapped across a sphere. The device uses algorithms to round images before displaying them, because obviously, they just wouldn’t look right without this. Be sure to check out the cool “earth” mode and also the fun-looking pong-like game.
