Work spaces can be mind-numbingly dull (unless you are working at Google) but there is not much one can do about. However the smart folks over at the Media Computing Group seem to revolutionize the workspace with their incredible BendDesk. The BendDesk is actually a cool multitouch workspace which features a full fledged display that is able to work its magic with the help of two projectors, 3 cameras, and ultra bright IR lights. The multi-touch curved display of the BendDesk is not really about functionality but creativity and I think will be appreciated by those who work in the multi-media continuum or any other creative field.
