Microsoft Surface: Computer on a Tabletop

Please read the Inc Technology report on Surface Computing technology:

Surface computing will be the new wave of computing, where computing with Natural User Interfaces (NUI) will replace GUI (graphical user interfaces). After the transition from command line DOS to GUI with use of graphics and mouse clicks, touches and gestures will make computing more intuitive and natural.

Five cameras with bluetooth/Wireless capability will interpret human touch and gestures.
Commercial exploitation may be confined to hotels and entertainment sectors, until the technology matures.
