ExoPC has developed what could be the desk of the future – a new 40-inch HD multi-touch desk on which the user’s monitor, keyboard and mouse can be placed, called the EXOdesk.
ExoPC who will officially be announcing the product at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2012, has uploaded a teaser video onto YouTube to showcase just a few of its features. The video shows a widget hub in the corner of the desk that can launch applications on the screen and the ability to pull down a timeline populated with news information, RSS feeds, tweets and other alerts from the top corner of the table. All applications can be easily swiped away out of sight and widgets and screen settings are all customisable.
While the EXOdesk isn’t the first in multi-touch desk technology with Samsung having recently announced its Samsung SUR40, a 40-inch, 1080p multitouch table running Microsoft’s Surface software, the EXOdesk differentiates itself with its affordable price tag. The SUR40, designed primarily for business use and as a computer replacement, can be purchased for a staggering $8,400 (about R71, 990) while the EXOdesk, more of a computer supplement and desk replacement is offered at just $1,299 (about R11, 130), a bargain in comparison.
