Cool Map Table

Microsoft Surface is a new way of interacting with digital content via a tabletop display on which you use gestures and touch to interact.

This video shows how cool this can be with maps!  After about 3 mins it shows Surface in action with Virtual Earth

I think this new kind of interactive environment is what mapping is crying out for.  A screen and mouse has always been a rather inferior and crude way to interact with maps, especially when a group of people are looking together. 

Finally something that comes close to being as good as a paper map!
