Microsoft Sphere; more details emerge

Microsoft Sphere

A new video and image was recently released showing off a little more of what makes the new Microsoft Sphere work. The latest video goes a little more in depth and shows off some of the features, but also gives us a little insight as to how it works. It even shows a computer that is off to the side that shows us what the Sphere was seeing as it was touched.

The video includes some info on the omni-directional camera, the circular menu that appears when users place both hands on the top of the Sphere and the mysterious sounding send-to-the-darkside gesture. A few other points, which are similar to what we have seen with the Surface were highlighted are the object auto-rotation which causes an image to rotate as it is pushed away, and also the photo and video browsers which are able to be dragged around, dropped where you want them and resized with two fingers.
