Wall computing "fundamentally changing the way we collaborate at work"?

The technology is certainly available (if Microsoft Surface and some of the high-end videoconferencing systems from Cisco and Tandberg count) but it's not widely used ... yet. The fundamental change will occur when prices come down, and/or killer apps are available, IMHO.

I wonder if (when pricing is reasonable) we will see surface used in conference tables, etc. Something clicked when I saw a demo of people exchanging things across a table by pushing documents around on the surface of the table. It's hard to tell if it's one of those technologies that looks great but even when it is ubiquitous turns out to be underused.
