How does it work basically  ??? The system is composed of a horizontal

touchscreen under a table-like surface withcameras mounted below to detect userinteraction activities.With no interfacetext,the surface can be used by speakers of any language and any competencylevel.Pictures in a digital camera placed onthe surface are automatically downloadedto the device and displayed on the

screen.We can even transfer those picturesto another device,say a cellphone .It simplyrequires the user to place the phone onsurface and drag the pictures in itsdirection«.

Bluetooth , Wifi etc ??

Although the underlying

bluetooth and Wifi

technologies are

considered safe for transfer of data

which the documents

can be accidentally or maliciously copied is

highly alarming«..
