    What is surface computer?


    Surface computing is the term for the use of a specialized
    computer in which traditional GUI elements are replaced
    by everyday objects.
    The Surface is a horizontal display on a table-like form.
    Instead of a keyboard and mouse, the user interacts
    directly with a touch-sensitive screen.
    30-inch diagonal display in table like form factor. Thats
    easy for an individuals or multiple people interact with
    just like in the real world.
    Come to life for exploring, learning, sharing, creating ,
    buying and much more.
    Available in retail stores, restaurants, hotels, casinos..

    History of surface computer


    2001: The product idea for Surface was initially
    conceptualized by Steven Bathiche .
    2003:1 st prototype (t1 ) was produced to bill gets for
    appruval
    2004: Microsoft built more than 85 early prototypes for
    Surface.
    2005: The final hardware design was completed.
    2007: Interactive table top device was designed than
    seamlessly bring both the physical and virtual words
    into one.

    Features

    Direct Interaction :
    User can grab the digital information with their
    hands, interacting with a content by touch and gesture.
    Without the use of mouse & keyboard.

    Multiuser:
    Surface has 360 degree user interface & 30 inch reflective
    surface so people can orient themselves on different sides
    of the surface to interact with an application
    simultaneously.

    Multi-touch
    Multi-touch contact refers to the ability to have multiple
    contact points with an interface, unlike with a mouse, where
    there is only one cursor.

    Object recognition
    Object recognition refers to the device's ability to recognize
    the presence and orientation of tagged objects placed on top of
    it.

    Design & Working of surface


    computer

    Internal design
    Screen

    Camera & system unit


    Infrared Emitter
    Projector

    Screen: It has a 360-degree user interface, a 30-inch


    reflective surface with a XGA DLP projector underneath
    the surface which projects an image onto its underside
    Cameras: Microsoft Surface uses cameras and image
    recognition in the infrared spectrum to recognize different
    types of objects such as fingers, tagged items and shapes.
    System Unit: to perform an operations
    Infrared: 850-nanometer-wavelength LED light source
    aimed at the surface. When an object touches the tabletop,
    the light is reflected to multiple infrared cameras with a
    net resolution of 1024 x 768, allowing it to sense, and
    react to items touching the tabletop.
    Projector: An projector is used for displaying video,
    images or computer data on a surface.

    Working
    Uses cameras to sense object,
    touch and hand gesture
    User input is then Processed

    Displayed output using rear Projection

    Technology used in surface computer:

    Pen computing:
    Pen computing refers to a computer user-interface using a
    pen and tablet, rather than devices such as a keyboard and
    a mouse.
    Definition: A computer system employing a userinterface using a pointing device plus handwriting
    recognition as the primary means for interactive user input
    is called pen computing.

    Multi touch

    Multi-touch refers to the ability to


    simultaneously register three or more distinct
    positions of input touches.
    Multi-touch has been implemented in several
    different ways, depending on the size and type of
    interface.

    Applications:
    Partner companies use the Surface in their hotels,
    restaurants, and retail stores.
    Hotel lobbies, such as Sheraton Hotels, to choose meals at
    restaurants, plan vacations and spots to visit from the hotel
    room.
    Starwood Hotels plan to allow users to drop a credit card on
    the table to pay for music, books, and other amenities
    offered at the resort.
    In casinos users can do a range of things, such as watch
    videos, view maps, order drinks, play games, and chat with
    people between Surface tables.

    Advantages

    We can direct interact with the computer


    without using mouse and keyboard.
    Multiple user can interact at a same time.
    Any physical object can be directly
    recognized.
    Microsoft Surface responds to many points of
    contact simultaneously
    Designing made easier Time saving by
    eliminating many processes.
    Wireless communication between two object
    is possible.
    New and improved learning experience.

    Disadvantages:
    Not portable and Very expensive
    Dim lighting required to avoid washing out of
    screen.
    Barcode Required for an objects.
    This is insecure system.

    Conclusion:
    Surface computer is advanced computer
    having large touch screen.
    Users can interact with the machine by
    touching or dragging their fingertips and
    objects such as paintbrushes across the
    screen.
    We can use surface computer in different
    hotels, Restaurants, casinos.
