Human Media Lab scoops Microsoft Sphere project

Recently, Microsoft showed an early demo of their multitouch spherical display prototype. However, the Human Media Lab was there first! In the June 2008 Communications of the ACM, on Organic User Interfaces (OUI), we showed our work on our prototype fully spherical computer concept, pictured below. It was featured in a June CTV newsreel that you can find on this blog.
