  What is MicrosoftSurface? • Project began in 2001 • Introduced in 2007 • A surface computing platform from Microsoft. “Microsoft Surface represents a fundamental change in the way we interact with digital content. With Surface, we can actually grab data with our hands, and move information between objects with natural gestures and touch. All without using a mouse or a keyboard.”
• 4.
  What is surfacecomputing? A form of computing that offers “a natural way of interacting with information” rather than the “traditional user interface.” “Direct Interaction” “Multi–Touch” “Multi–User” “Object Recognition”

  • Wireless! • Digitalinteractive painting • At a phone store? • At a restaurant? • Play games and use the Internet. • Jukebox! Browse music, make play lists. • Maps How is the Surface used?
• 6.
  How does itwork? • The Surface uses multiple infrared cameras beneath the screen/table top to sense objects, physical touch, etc. • The Surface “recognizes objects based on shape or by using domino-style identification (domino tags) on the bottom of the objects.” • This information is processed and displayed using “rear projection”. (1) Screen (2) Infrared (3) CPU (4) Projector

  Conclusion Microsoft Surface isthe future of computers. Fundamentally changes the way we interact with technology Surface takes existing technology and presents it in a new way. It isn't simply a touch screen, but more of a touch-grab-move-slide-resize-and-place-objects-on-top- of-screen, and this opens up new possibilities that weren't there before.
