Kyle Warnick from the Microsoft Surface team was in Las Vegas yesterday for the launch of the Rio iBar Surface units.
Kyle and team had their video camera with them and filmed this great demo of the new Surface apps in action for Channel 10.
Apart from fun, multiplayer mini-games and informational applications Harrah's have created a unique Surface experience by incorporating video camera's in the ceiling of the bar that allow you to (amongst other things) experiment with social interaction and the ordering of adult beverages,.. what a mix!

These are actually fully functional applications (as opposed to proof of concept demos) that anyone at the iBar can sit down and use - prettty cool huh!? Smiley

I'm not sure which of the apps in the video were developed using which technology but the Surface SDK support both WPF and XNA.

So to answer your question some of the apps were probably built using WPF and others XNA,...
