Introducing the EXOdesk
- garymcm 15y agoSleek? Where are the round corners? Did Jobs teach you nothing?
- joshmlewis 15y agoI'm still trying to sell my ExoPC tablet.
- moe 15y agoSolution looking for problem?
- niccl 15y agoI have a greta use for this, although it's _very_ niche. My spare time hobby is stage lighting for rock bands. I've been working on a new lighting controller and looking for exactly this sort of thing. The problem with almost all current lighting controllers is that the user interface for configurng the system is horrendous. The exodesk, with its large display area and multi-point touch would be perfect for a much more intuitive configuration system. If only I had the money...
- fredsanford 15y agoLooks (pun half intended) like a way to get kinks in my neck...
- Too 15y agoDid i just read the word ergonomic in the same sentence as virtual keyboard?
- deyan 15y agoNot even one positive comment? No one is excited that they are making a highly affordable surface for 10 times+ less? We are a startup/hacker community after all, I don't think it is too much to ask!
- jsmcgd 15y agoI think EXOdesk and Microsoft's Surface will probably have their lunch eaten by the more successful tablet manufacturers. They already have huge app ecosystems and it isn't an insurmountable technical challenge to increase a tablet's size by a factor of 4. That being said, I hope they do succeed. The more competition the better.
- calebmpeterson 15y agoGenuine question: what are the use cases?
- trothamel 15y agoA potential problem is the resolution. If the screen is 16:9, a 40" diagonal means that that the screen is 19.6" high. At 1080, it's 55 dpi. Isn't that low for a computer screen?
- rdl 15y agoThis could be interesting as a secondary display. There are lots of ingesting things to leave running (dashboards), and a big tablet for doing some kinds of input. Plus, games. Both as an immersive input device in regular games, and a great party tabletop games platform. Higher resolution than 1080p would be nice for such a large panel. Figuring out a way to give haptic feedback (screen vibration under input area) would be nice too.
