This video trailer of Natural User Interface’s Flash Surface seems too cool, it almost simulate the all features of MS Surface, except wireless media transfer between devices, and automatic device recognition. Project is using Flash 9 with AS3, and it will be open source. So far it looks direct competitor to MS Surface.
There are more videos available on Google video here and here.
I think Flash is best option they used. The key differences between this and what Microsoft is building are that the AS 3 library will be open source, allowing anyone to incorporate this type of functionality into their own applications. Developers will need a touch screen to handle the user's interactions, but the software will be available as open source. You can get involved and learn more at nuigroup.com.
The latest Flash 9 performs better, and have accelerated full-screen support, it features HD video support, and best of all, it runs on most operating systems. Overall, it could be a better and cool alternate to MS Surface. Hmm... let see how things going.
