This video really is worth checking out if you want to see how furniture and interaction with screen-based technology and software services are about to arrive near a living room or winebar near you sometime soon. Kudos go to the team at Microsoft for pulling this off.

Included in the demonstration are: – showing how the table links devices to it, enabling easy routes like taking a picture with a bluetooth enabled camera, which immediately appears on surface screen and can then be further manipulated (send to friend, print, etc)
– a wine bar application to help select wine also with a gimmicky wine glass with RFiD or some such id technology so their is retention of object memory even when it is removed from the surface
