FLAT OUT COOL
SAMSUNG’S SUR40 Your team will line-up to bring their ideas to this table. Samsung’s SUR40 ($7,599) is Microsoft’s second-generation multi-touch table. Measuring just 4-inches thick, it houses a Full HD 1080p 40-inch display covered with a sheet of toughened “Gorilla Glass.” Unlike the first Surface table, the SUR40 doesn’t use cameras to recognize fingertouches—instead Microsoft’s groundbreaking PixelSense technology can handle more than fifty simultaneous touch-points from fingers, hands, and objects. It’s never been easier to flick through storyboards, collaboratively execute concepts, or simply play solitaire.

BEAM ME UP
CELLUON MAGIC CUBE
Budding secret agents will no doubt fall for the charm of the Celluon Magic Cube ($169.99), a laser projection keyboard that splashes a full-sized, but virtual keyboard onto a flat surface, such as a desk, table, or countertop. Wirelessly pair the small, rechargeable device with a nearby smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. Flick the switch and you’ll see the red laser keyboard appear. Start typing as you would on your PC or Mac and you’ll even hear the clickity-clack of the virtual keys (if desired).

WATCH THIS
NOOKA ZEM ZEN-H Stand out from the crowd with the Nooka Zem Zen-H gold watch ($850.00). Rather than a conventional analog face or digital readout, you’ll tell time by reading the number of blocks (hours) on the top two rows, while the third and fourth rows show you the number of minutes and seconds, respectively. While unconventional, it’s actually quite intuitive. Along with the current time, the Zen-H also features an alarm and a chronograph mode. With a square gold face on a crocodile skin band, with this watch you’ll always have the luxury of time.
