What Is Microsoft Surface ?

Microsoft Surface is a revolutionary multi-touch computer that


responds to natural hand gestures and real-world objects,
helping people interact with digital content in a simple and
intuitive way. With a large, horizontal user interface, Surface
offers a unique gathering place where multiple users can
collaboratively and simultaneously interact with data and each
other.
Tabletop Technology
How does Microsoft Surface work?

Microsoft Surface uses cameras and image recognition in the


infrared spectrum to recognize different types of objects such as
fingers, tagged items and shapes. This input is then processed by
the computer and the resulting interaction is displayed using rear
projection. The user can manipulate content and interact with the
computer using natural touch and hand gestures, instead of a
typical mouse and keyboard.
Usage Of Microsoft Surface

For Users : Microsoft Surface


represents a fundamental
change in the way we interact
with digital content. Leave the
mouse and keyboard behind.
Surface lets you grab digital
content with your hands and
move information with simple
gestures and touches. Surface
also sees and interacts with
objects placed on the screen,
allowing you to move
information between devices
like mobile phones or cameras.
The result is a fun, social and
exciting computing experience
like you’ve never had before.
For Businesses : Microsoft
Surface provides tremendous
potential for businesses to
improve communication, and
be more efficient in how they
deliver information and
services to their customers.
The intuitive and approachable
interface is easy to learn and
the familiar software platform
makes it easy to manage, too.
The multi-touch and multi-
user capabilities create an
incredibly collaborative
experience, where sharing and
exploring information is easier
than ever.
Key capabilities of Microsoft
Surface?

Direct interaction : Users can grab digital information with their hands
and interact with content on-screen by touch and gesture – without using
a mouse or keyboard.

Multi-user experience : The large, horizontal, 30 inch display makes it


easy for several people to gather and interact together with Microsoft
Surface - providing a collaborative, face-to-face computing experience.

Multi-touch : Microsoft Surface responds to many points of contact


simultaneously - not just from one finger, as with a typical touch screen,
but from dozens of contact points at once.

Object recognition : Users can place physical objects on the screen to


trigger different types of digital responses – providing for a multitude of
applications and the transfer of digital content to mobile devices.
Demerits of Microsoft Surface :

1. It’s expensive to build one


because it needs holographic
glass, an enclosure, a projector,
two cameras, and a computer.
Price. Will cost $5,000 to
$10,000 and only be available to
commercial customers (hotels,
casinos, etc). Price depends on
number of units purchased.

2. Can’t scan paper yet. Some of


the scenarios a demoed included
scanning of paper and
documents. That isn’t yet
included in the current version.

3. Demos won’t all work the way it


seems in the videos.
Thank You…
