Key elements of surface computing
A form of computing that offers “a natural way of interacting with information,” rather than traditional user interface:
• Direct Interaction: The ability to "grab" digital information with hands - interacting with touch/gesture, not with a mouse or keyboard.
• Multi–Touch: The ability to recognize multiple points of contact at the same time, not just one (Ex. one finger, like with most touch screens), but dozens.

Key elements of surface computing
• Multi–User: The Surface’s screen is horizontal, allowing many people to come together around it and experience a “collaborative , face–to–face computing experience”.
• Object Recognition: Physical objects can be placed on the Surface’s screen to “trigger different types of digital responses” (Ex. cell phones, cameras, & glasses of wine).

• Wireless- Transfer pictures from camera to Surface and cell phone. “Drag and drop virtual content to physical objects.”
• Digital interactive painting
• At a phone store
• At a restaurant
• Play games and use the Internet.

Power of Microsoft Surface• In a restaurant if a beer mug is placed on the surface, the menu related to Beer appears on the surface. The user need to just select the item and the order automatically reaches the bartender. That is the power of Microsoft Surface. • One can draw four lines with four fingers on a Microsoft Surface. •You may go to a shop to pick up a wrist watch and liked several models. You do not know how to compare the two models, apart from the visual looks. Just place the two models on the Microsoft Surface. The power of Microsoft Surface brings out the comparison of the two models- feature by feature.

Working of Microsoft Surface
• The Surface is not a touch-sensitive screen device… • The Surface uses multiple infrared cameras beneath the screen to sense objects, physical touch, etc. • This information is processed and displayed using “Rear Projection”.•No mouse or keyboard used.
(1) Screen Diffuser : ”Multitouch" screen. Can process multiple inputs and recognize objects by their shapes or coded "domino" tags.

Working of Microsoft Surface
(2) Infrared: The ”Machine Vision" is aimed at the screen. Once an object touches the tabletop ; the light reflects back and is picked up by infrared cameras.
(3) CPU: Uses similar components as current desktop computers, Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM and a 256MB graphics card. Wireless communication,WiFi and Bluetooth antennas Operating system, modified version of Microsoft Vista.
(4) Projector: Uses a DLP light engine (rear-projection HDTV's).

Conclusion•Microsoft surface is the future of computers
•Fundamentally changes the way we interacts with technology
•Surface takes existing technology and presents it in a new way
•Its not just a touch screen but more of a touch -grab-move-slide-resize-and-place-objects-on-top-of-the-screen
• So it opens up new possibilities that weren’t there before
