[attachment=17135]
What is Microsoft Surface?
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.”
What is surface computing?
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”
How does it work?
. 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”.
