Starting work on MS Surface

As you might know I will start work on a MS Surface unit shortly. Now, I've come up with a couple of ideas to implement. Some are more obvious (photos from one of our projects presented on a map) but others are more intriguing (using the unit as an aid for biological determination work). I also want to do some work on a 'social networking' application which can be used by 'customers' to interact with each other, even when they are not in the same location.

However, a client of ours came up with another idea. This client works in the 'office cleaning business' and would like an application that will scan a map of a building and by adding information to the map (dragging people to rooms, coloring floors to indicate complexity) the application will calculate the price for cleaning that building.

So, I think that will be the first application I will be working on. I will keep you posted - for as far as the MS license agreements allow me to - about the progress.

Bye,

Bart
