I was wondering if anyone out there is working with this or technologies like it. Their SDK for this was last updated in 2012... but the hardware manufacturers seem to be introducing new ones and even for android.
I have been curious to where this tech is going and would like to tinker around with it but the price on these things is a bit steep.
Thanks for any info you all might have.

So very little demand from clients for these kinds of things?

Once upon a time, before it was called Surface it was called Origami and was earlier than the iPad ;)
