The Microsoft Surface Sphere is certainly unique. In fact, you may even think of it as a joke before realizing that it is completely real. It uses the same technology as the table that is its brother, just in a sphere. Because of the shape, some applications, such as the AT&T phone comparer, become practically useless, however, some applications gain interest.

1.Racing game: To take advantage of the unique shape, make a steering wheel go around the sphere and put controls and the view in the middle.

2.Globe: You’re probably thinking “duh”, but come on! This would be the perfect app for a Microsoft Surface Sphere. You could even go further off this idea, and make games out of it, such as Risk.

3.Snow globe Screensaver: What an interesting screensaver that would be?! And it doesn’t have to end there, there could be numerous unique screen savers to Microsoft Surface Sphere.

4.Pong/Blocks: The simple idea of a ball and a gravity towards the top. You have to bounce the ball away from the top and destroy all the blocks with the ball. Or playing against another player, you have a wall going up and down with two blockers.

5.3D modeling: This may be tricky to pull off, or even to imagine, but it would be quite an application. Basically, using the spherical shape, the app would render the image “inside” the sphere, allowing for complete 3D. Does this blow anybody Else’s mind thinking about this?

6.Bowling: You obviously wouldn’t be throwing it, but it might be a fun way to take up time playing a little virtual bowling.

Have any better ideas? Brag about ‘em.
