SurfaceDJ from Vectorform was one of my favorite applications shown at PDC. Not only does it involve Multi-touch, Surface and music; but it is an example of a new form of collaborative application. Joe Engalan and Markus Sheldon build up the music, keep it alive and then break it down in real-time while working together at the Surface table. I want one!

Check out Vectorform's Surface blog to see some of their other Surface applications. Yes, they are the ones behind NBC's Electoral application.

Surface seems so much smoother than the touchscreens. Does it have higher-end hardware inside?

I saw this a while ago and Surface is definitely a very flexible virtual instrument.
It would be interesting to use Reason 4 with a surface and an onscreen keyboard and drumpad.
Virtual turntables would be interesting too.

I hope they can port this to Windows 7. That would be something interesting. Although using it on upright touchscreen would be a little awkward...

If someone could make a multitouch monitor that can go from being upright to being flat easily, then this would make a nice Win7 application.

The Elo touch screens I use are designed to pivot though 90 deg, but at fixed height, would be cool to come up with a mount that could let you flip it flat and the slide down to desk height without becoming unstable and remaining rigid, bit like a desktop drafting board.

EDIT: just watched the video, I sooo want one

Cool and natural app for surface. Can you drag and spin the edge of circle for "scratch" and repeat effects?

No, but that sounds like a great feature for version 2!
