Thermador Freedom full-surface inductive cooktop oven mitts-on

We’ll admit it, cooktops aren’t all that sexy as a rule. But Thermodor’s Freedom full-surface adaptive induction unit we just happened upon at CES Unveiled this evening certainly takes some steps towards making that almost true. Touting a 6-inch touchscreen screen that displays the pot’s shape and position and enables easy one tap control of each vessel’s cooking temperature as well as up to 4600-watt maximum output power.

Samsung ‘Optical Sensor in Pixel’ LCDs rolling out, ready for Surface 2.0

With Samsung’s Microsoft Surface product, the SUR40 , already available for pre-order, the company says its 1080p 40-inch “Optical Sensor in Pixel” LCD panels have gone into mass production. Those optical sensors help to more accurately interpret multi-touch input without interrupting display signals, offering a more fluid, interactive experience. Tempered glass overlaying the display supports 176 pounds of load and up to 50 touch points at once, which should be more than enough for a Pacific Giant Octopus or any jerk that leans on your $8K table.

Nsquared’s Seamless Computing, Surface + Kinect + Slate + Phone = amazing interface (video)

Begin designing a new home on your phone and then place it on the Surface to share between all the devices, then pick up the Slate to make some modifications before walking through a 3D model of the building, navigating with Kinect’s gesture interface.

Meet Patty, Microsoft’s Surface 2.0 stress test robot

Locked behind a gated fence and unseen by the public until now, lives Patty, Microsoft’s Surface 2.0 stress test robot. Designed to see just how much Gates’ touchscreen can take, this lady bot uses 80 compressed air-driven probes, six motors and a robotic moving head to apply maximum stress to the display.
