NUBIAN KNIGHTS NETWORK: Microsoft Leaps From "Surface Computing" To "Mobile Surface"

QUOTATIONS OF "BLACK"

"Whenever I use BLACK it relates to some history of Africans in that particular place. It’s the idea of the color BLACK as a metaphor, or as a representation of African-Americans. It’s the notion of BLACK- BLACKNESS - and all its other meanings in relation to the history of race..."

- Fred Wilson

"Most of my fortitude to continue doing the work comes from the moral outrage I feel about the injustices that Black people endure disproportionately daily."

- N. Abdul-Wakil

"In the end, what matters is not skin shade but pan-African consciousness. Loving your complexion, your nose, lips, hair length and texture, no matter what the politics or trends decide, and simply be. That's the problem with us (African folks).

Microsoft Leaps From "Surface Computing"
To "Mobile Surface"

Microsoft's impressive Surface Computing (SEE HERE) technology now takes a leap to Mobile Surface.

In the video the gentleman's English is not great (the one explaining and demonstrating the experiment, plus there's high chatter talking in the background which makes understanding him harder), but the demonstration is worth viewing if you're a technology interest person like me.

The 3 parts of this 3D gesture experience that make it work are a mobile device (phone), a projector and a camera (motion) sensor.

And I had previously reported on the Gesture Cube (SEE HERE) which is mad crazy qool!
