Jeff Han's Research Ripped by Microsoft Surface?
,----[ Quote ]
| Jeff Han, consulting research scientist for NYU's Department of
| Computer Science, developed a multi-touch interactive graphical
| interface, which he presented at the TED conference over a year
| ago. His research turned into its own company, Perceptive Pixel.
|
| Now it seems Microsoft completely ripped the idea and created
| Microsoft Surface.
