What is Microsoft surface?
Revolutionary multitouch computer
with different look & feel.
It is a surface witha 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 naturalgestures, touchand physical objects.
Surface is a 30-inch display in a
table-like form factor thats easy for
individua
ls to intera
ct just like in th
e rea
l world

What is Microsoft surface? (contd.)
Microsoft Surface represents a fundamental change
in the way we interact with digital content.
This uses a multi touch screen as user interface.
System composed ofahorizontal touch screen under
a coffee table-like surface, with cameras mountedbelow to detect user interaction activities.
Surface can simultaneously recognize dozens and dozens of
movements suchas touch, gestures and actual unique objects that
have identification tags similar to bar codes.
Surface computing-the technology behind.
Surface that comes to life for exploring, learning,
sharing, creating, buying and much more.

HISTORY 2001: Microsoft researchers
Steve Bathicheand Andy
Wilsondeveloped idea of interactive
table that could understand the
manipulation of physical pieces.
2003: 1st prototype model namedT1which is based on an IKEA
table was born. Team saw the
value of the surface computer
beyond simply gaming and began
to favor those applications that
took advantage of the unique
ability of Surface to recognize
physical objects placed on the
table.

What is surface computing?
Majoradvancement that moves beyond thetraditional user interface to a more natural way of
interacting with information.
It is a natural user interface that allows people tointeract with digital content the same way they have
interacted with everyday items suchas 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.

FEATURES OF SURFACECOMPUTING
Direct interaction : Users
can actually grab digitalinformation with their
hands and interact with
content by touchand
gesture, without the use of
a mouse or keyboard.
Multi-touch contact :
Surface computing
recognizes ma
ny points ofcontact simultaneously,
not just from one finger, as
witha typical touch screen,
but up to dozens and
dozens of items at once.

FEATURES(contd.)
Multi-user experience :
The horizontal form factormakes it easy for several
people to gatheraround
surface computers
together, providing
a
collaborative, face-to-face
computing experience.
Object recognition : Users
can place physical objectson the surface to trigger
different types of digital
responses, including the
transfer of digital content.

12/22
(1)Screen : A diffuser turns the Surface's acrylic
tabletop into a large horizontal "multitouch" screen,
capable of processing multiple inputs from multipleusers. The Surface can also recognize objects by
their shapes or by reading coded "domino" tags.
(2) Infrared: Surface's "machine vision" operates inthe
near-infrared spectrum, using an 850-nanometer-
wavelength LED light source aimed at the screen.
When objects touch the tabletop, the light reflectsback and is picked up by multiple infrared cameras
witha net resolution of 1280 x 960.

3)CPU: Surface uses many of the same components
found in everyday desktop computers a Core
2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM and a256MB
graphics card. Wireless communication with deviceson the surface is handled using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
antennas (future versions may incorporate RFID or
Near Field Communications). The underlying
operating system is a modified version of MicrosoftVista.
(4) Projector: Microsoft's Surface uses the same DLP
light engine found in m
any re
ar projection HDTVs.The footprint of the visible light screen, at 1024 x 768
pixels, is actually smaller than the invisible
overlapping infrared projection to allow for better
recognition at the edges of the screen.

WORKING
Microsoft Surface uses cameras to sense objects,
hand gestures and touch. This user input is thenprocessed 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 suchas 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
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 withan 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
Not port
able
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).

FUTUREINNOVATIONS
Surface will continue to be sold to and used byrestaurants, retail, leisure and public entertainment
venues.

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.
