What is Microsoft Surface?

Revolutionary multi touch computer with different look & feel.It is a surface with a computing platform that responds to natural hand gestures and real world objects.Turns an ordinary tabletop into a vibrant, interactive surface. Provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects. Surface is a 30-inch display in a table-like form factor that’s easy for individuals to interact just like in the real world.

History of Microsoft Surface2001: Microsoft researchers Steve Bathiche and Andy Wilson developed idea of interactive table that could understand the manipulation of physical pieces.

2003: 1st Prototype model named T1 was introduces .

2005 :Attention turned to its form factor, Tub prototype was designed.

What is Surface Computing?

Major advancement that moves beyond the traditional user interface to a more natural way of interacting with information.

It is a natural user interface that allows people to interact with digital content the same way they have interacted with everyday items such as photos, paintbrushes and music their entire life: with their hands, with gestures and by putting real-world objects on the surface.

Surface computing opens up a whole new category of products for users to interact with.

Working of Microsoft Surface

Microsoft Surface uses cameras to sense objects, hand gestures and touch. This user input is then processed and displayed using rear projection.Microsoft Surface uses this rear projection system which displays an image onto the underside of thin diffuser.Image processing system processes the camera images to detect fingers, custom tags and other objects such as paint brushes when touching the display.The objects recognized with this system are reported to applications running in the computer so that they can react to object shapes, 2D tags, movement and touch.

Pros of Microsoft Surface

Large surface area to view different windows and applications.Data Manipulation - Selecting, moving, rotating and resizing (Manipulating objects on the screen is similar to manipulating them in the manual world).Quick and easy to use.More Than One User –Several people can orient themselves on different sides of the surface to interact with an application simultaneously (Max 52 points of touch).Object Recognition - Increased functionality aiding user in speed and ease of use.Time saving by eliminating many processes.

Cons of Microsoft Surface

Not portable and very expensive.Privacy - Open for many to view.Screen Visibility - Glare, finger prints/dirt and human interaction obscuring interface.Poor Accuracy - Fat fingers are not as accurate as a mouse or stylus.Fatigue - Reaching across the table often can cause the arms to ache.Objects needs to be tagged (domino tags or RFIDs).

Future Innovations

Surface will continue to be sold to and used by restaurants, retail, leisure and public entertainment venues.

Computer scientists hope to incorporate this kind of technology in peoples’ daily lives… Future goals are to surround people with intelligent surfaces (Look up recipes on your kitchen counter or table, control TV with coffee table, etc.

Eventually every household may have one in place of their everyday coffee table.

Conclusion

Microsoft Surface is the 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.
