Spotted: Library with Microsoft Surface

  • Artykuł

I was just poking around this afternoon and spotted the following video out on Flickr. It's at the Darien Library, a hi-tech library in Connecticut. It looks like they just moved into their new building on Friday. [CORRECTION] They will be moving into their new library in January. Along with what looks like a large pile of Dell computers, they unboxed a Microsoft Surface unit. What I love about this video is how the woman, Kate, plays with the water using her scarf. There's genuine and absolute joy expressed by those "kids".

What would you like to use Microsoft Surface for at your local library if they had one?

    Thanks for the update Alan. Please let us know once you've gotten them installed and you're seeing some use. I'd love to hear your audience's impressions.

    Fantastic! That'd definitely entice me to go to the library, haha... You know what location I think would be perfect for a Surface? Airports. Imagine the flight tracking / Virtual Earth mashup possibilities....

    That would be great. You could also visualize your re-routing possibilities when you have flight changes.
