Very cool app. I wish I could work on surface apps.

Was cool.  Be even cooler when people can afford cars again.   I did notice, that even experts have to re-do some gestures, which makes control feel jerky.  Not sure most people will have a clue on some of these gestures.  I think pan/zoom should be virtual ball on lower left, and other gestures with right hand (i.e. open door, click, etc)

It's a nice demo of what can  be possible, but feels very unrefined.  I don't see why you would add a "control knob" when you could easily replicate the same functionality with a graphic control.  It was also a little unnerving to see the little dots pop up when the car was manipulated.  Like any new technology, it will take awhile to see independent 3rd party apps really get the refinements and polish it deserves.

I'm used clothing web-sites that were better than that.

 

The surface is just a gimmick for a standard 3D rotation demo. The ONLY thing I've seen surface do well is tour maps but yet it is too expensive for very many places to even use for that.

I wondered why anyone cares what the car looks like on different driveways.

It's neat. Not sure about that menu on the bottom though. Kind of goes against the whole 360 degree design, and having it accessible from any of the 4 sides of the table. Would figure it would be a menu coming out of the corner or something.
