Surface - a new technology from Microsoft

Microsoft has developed the technology for five years, eventually embodied in a device, like a small coffee table.

The bottom line: the entire surface of the "table" - 1 giant (approximately 30 & quot;) touch-screen



Microsoft is calling the new method of managing digital information - NUI - Natural User Interface - user moves the virtual objects using their own hands, without a keyboard, mouse, and other devices intermediary.

Surface system supports Multi-touch, allowing to manage the "table" is not in the 1-touch, as the stylus on modern PDAs and, in some, as in the highly publicized iPhone. Or rather, "table" recognizes up to 52 touch points simultaneously. If him sit two people, each putting both hands on the surface you can put another 12 facilities.

"Table" is able to recognize electronic devices. Enough to put on his mobile phone system to connect with him in a session to transfer files and information. Next, enough to throw a hand in it any picture or image - and it is copied to the phone. This and more clearly shown in the video:
