HOW THE RESEARCH STARTED :-
2001: Microsoft researchers Steve Bathiche and Andy Wilson developed idea of an interactive table
2003: 1st prototype was presented to Bill Gates for approval
2007: Interactive tabletop device was built that seamlessly brings both the physical and virtual worlds into one
The table is built with wireless devices using Bluetooth and WI-FI technology
Designed to match up with wireless objects placed on the table
Multitouch screen is used like the technology behind the iPhone (no keyboard or mouse needed)
