TouchTable - Are these just Microsoft Surface tablets?

I came across these guys, http://www.touchtable.com, and this technology just looks so much like MS Surface. Does anyone know about them?

1) Is the hardware MS Surface tablets?

2) Is the code behind these UIs Surface-based, i.e. XAML / .NET?

Any input will be greatly appre开发者_运维百科ciated.

This is not connected to Microsoft Surface at all. However, WPF 4 and the Surface Toolkit for Windows Touch (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee957352.aspx) have an extensibility mechanism that will let you convert input from other systems (like TouchTable) and pump those input events into WPF 4 while making use of the Surface UI controls. Here is an example of doing that: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ansont/archive/2010/01/30/custom-touch-devices.aspx.

No, this isn't Microsoft Surface. Surface is vision based, so it can also recognize objects placed on the surface. This is touch-driven, so it won't recognize objects. Big difference.
