I first heard of this a few months ago when rumors of such a device first surfaced. Based on the same technology as the Surface multi-touch table, the Sphere allows users to interact with content on, well, basically a huge crystal ball. Cool. I’m especially a fan of the globe application and the 360° camera. The latter will be especially popular with security stations (imagine a 360° camera on the ceiling in the center of a room, and then the entire room being recreated on the Sphere.)
Check it out for yourself, more details to come as microsoft releases them.
