Microsoft unveiled Surface today with a screen that can be used with gestures and touch. A sighting of this technology at FastCompany has been circling the web months ago. I wonder if Microsoft partnered with Perceptive Pixel for the kind of technology that Surface uses or are they competitors in this space?

The press release from Microsoft:

The launch of Microsoft Surface marks the beginning of a new technology category and a user-interface revolution. Surface, Microsoft’s first surface computer, provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural hand gestures, touch and physical objects. Surface computing breaks down traditional barriers between people and technology, changing the way people interact with all kinds of everyday information — from photos to maps to menus.
