Nao Fondles Microsoft Surface
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 3 of September , 2009 at 3:06 am
I don’t know where Nao got its hands on a Surface table, but I’m insanely jealous. My nonexistent knowledge of French makes me think that Nao is probably saying something like, “wow, this thing is awesome! Too bad you don’t have one!” The fact that Nao can use the table at all, though, is a good example of one of the advantages of Surface: it’s not touch sensitive, but rather uses an array of cameras underneath the semi-transparent tabletop to track fingertips and other objects, letting you manipulate things in all kinds of nifty ways.
If you’re interested in what else Surface can do, I’ve posted a video after the break from CES 2008, where I got a hands-on demo of Surface. If you want to play around with it for yourself someplace outside of Vegas, some AT&T stores have them, but it’s not likely they’re set up for gaming. Shame.

Thnak you very much for your article. I may translate what Nao says if you want.
Next time I will make a video where he speaks english.
If you have some ideas for specific behaviour, I may post an exclusive video if you want.
Best regards,
Richard Seltrecht.

Hello Everyone,
I am going to use the product Microsoft Surface from the Selten company.
This photo of a Tiger is nice, let’s see if I can expand it to show it better.
Good, let’s look at the other photos. Let’s put this photo to the side…
