If you're the sort who wished your car had a transparent roof when the rain falls down but want some shielding when the sun's up (or, you know,
vice versa) then
BASF have good news for you. It's showing off the transparent OLED technology it developed with Philips that behaves like glass when inactive, turning opaque when activated. We're already familiar with the technology here, because it's the same kit that the chemicals giant showed off on its custom
Smart Forvision it produced with Daimler back in September. As before, it's also been able to pair them up with transparent solar cells, for environmentally friendly sky watching: just remember that people will be able to see you pick your nose from all angles now, okay?

Microsoft's second-generation Surface tabletop, also known as Samsung SUR40 and on pre-order since November, is now shipping. The 40-inch multitouch LCD with Full HD, 1920 x 1080 resolution is an AMD chipset, Windows 7, and Microsoft's PixelSense technology. The Gorilla Glass will keep it safe — the $8,400 start rice (display only; $9,049 for the tabletop with matching stand) will keep it out of your home. Samsung is currently showing it off at the National Retail Federation conference, as if the MSRP wasn't enough of an indication that this is decidedly not ready for the consumer market. That hasn't stopped developers from making a number of interesting consumer-friendly tabletop games and apps — something tells us Dungeons &...

It looks as if facial scans for
snack-dispensing purposes isn't the only mind-blowing feature on the whiz-bang generation of vending machines. Japanese company Asahi has just unveiled an advanced dispenser that's capable of doubling as a WiFi hotspot, so good luck getting through the mobs of leechers just to buy a soda. The machine sends out the internet waves free of charge and covers about 164 feet around it; of note, there's a 30-minute limit on each session -- but it's nothing that a fresh login can't solve. Asahi is planning on rolling out 1,000 of these in the upcoming year, but if you don't call the
Land of the Rising Sun your home, you won't be able to experience the
smart vendors anytime soon. Now, if only this same magic would slide over to park benches, blades of grass and molecules of oxygen, we'd be content.

If you're not really into using your
Kinect experiment to launch
your new startup or give your next
presentation, let us offer another entertaining option. Two students at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen have created an interactive sandbox
using Kinect, a projector, a computer and, of course, a box chock full of sand. The Xbox motion / depth detector is installed about two feet above the sand pit to measure each area that is carved out. Using a unique detection program, the topographical information is then transmitted to a data projector that renders an image in the sandpit -- the image being a color based on the height or depth of what has been created. The devs have built out a few different projections. Hills that are constructed by the user are assigned a shade of green based on height, while troughs are given blue hues according to depth. What's that? You built a hill and dug out the center? The projector sees that as a volcano, complete with spewing lava. If you're tired of
SimCity and want to actually get your hands dirty, take a peak at the video just past the break.
[Thanks, Mark]

Microsoft's next version of its highly successful Surface (which debuted in 2007) is imminent. After supposedly suffering some delays which forced delivery times from this year to the beginning of next, the next generation Surface is now officially available to pre-order in 23 countries.
The device -- which will run Windows 7 and cost about $8,400 -- is a Samusung-manufactured table with a 2.9GHz dual-core AMD processor and a 40-inch, 1920 x 1080 display. ZDNet previously reported that the new Surface had been delayed until January 2012 because of software problems, but no firm shipping date has been revealed.
The SUR40 is intended for commercial Fujifilm, Red Bull, and Sheraton Hotels already having signed on to use them in their...

Microsoft Surface 2.0, ovvero il Samsung SUR40, è finalmente prenotabile anche in Italia. Vanta la nuova tecnologia Pixel Sense, che trasforma ogni pixel del display (LCD Gorilla Glass) in una sorta di videocamera capace di rilevare fino a 50 tocchi in contemporanea.
