Microsoft Surface Computer
Thursday, May 31, 2007

A Surface computer is able to recognize physical objects from a paintbrush to a cell phone and allows hands-on, direct control of content such as photos, music and maps. Surface turns an ordinary tabletop into a dynamic surface that provides interaction with all forms of digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects.

Microsoft website gives examples of ordering a beverage during a meal with just the tap of a finger and quickly browsing through music and dragging favourite songs onto a personal play list by moving a finger across the screen. Build this into a bar and you’d get one-touch beer service although I’m not sure if they’ve found a way to work out when your beer glass is empty so that refilling becomes automatic, may be in upcoming versions.

Microsoft Surface lives where people gather. It is surely a way of interacting with the Digital world. Surface computer have arrived.
