    WHAT IS A SURFACE COMPUTER ?

    •No use of mouse or keyboard

    •Touch based graphical user interface

    •Dynamic interface that can recognize


    multiple objects that are placed on the surface
    FEATURES OF SURFACE
    COMPUTERS:-
    •Direct interaction : Users can actually
    “grab” digital information with their
    hands and interact with content by
    touch and gesture, without the use of a
    mouse or keyboard.

    •Multi-touch contact : Surface


    computing recognizes many points of
    contact simultaneously, not just from
    one finger, as with a typical touch
    screen, but up to dozens and dozens of
    items at once.
    FEATURES(contd):-
    •Multi-user experience : The
    horizontal form factor makes it easy
    for several people to gather around
    surface computers together,
    providing a collaborative, face-to-
    face computing experience.

    • Object recognition : Users can


    place physical objects on the surface
    to trigger different types of digital
    responses, including the transfer of
    digital content.

    WHO’S USING THE SURFACE
    TODAY?

    Current customers are AT&T, T-Mobile, the Rio All


    Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Sheraton Hotels,
    Disney Innovations House in California, Hotel 1000 in
    Seattle, Harrah’s Entertainment, and Starwood Hotels
    and Resorts Worldwide
    PROS:-
    •Large surface area to view different windows
    and applications.
    • Data Manipulation - Selecting, moving,
    rotating and resizing (manipulating objects on
    the screen is similar to manipulating them in
    the manual world).
    • Quick and easy to use.
    • More Than One User –Several people can
    orient themselves on different sides of the
    surface to interact with an application
    simultaneously (Max 52 points of touch).
    • Object Recognition - Increased functionality
    aiding user in speed and ease of use Time
    saving by eliminating many processes.
    CONS - :

    •Not portable and very expensive.

    •Privacy - Open for many to view.

    •Screen Visibility - Glare, finger prints/dirt and


    human interaction obscuring interface.

    •Poor Accuracy - Fat fingers are not as accurate


    as a mouse or stylus.
    FUTURE :-
    •Surface will continue to be sold to and
    used by restaurants, retail, leisure and
    public entertainment venues.

    • Computer scientists hope to


    incorporate this kind of technology in
    peoples’ daily lives…

    •Future goals are to surround people


    with intelligent surfaces (look up recipes
    on your kitchen counter or table, control
    TV with coffee table, etc. Eventually
    every household may have one in place
    of their everyday coffee table.
    CONCLUSION:-
    Microsoft Surface is the future of
    computers. Fundamentally changes the
    way we interact with technology. Surface
    takes existing technology and presents it in
    a new way. It isn't simply a touch screen,
    but more of a touch-grab-move-slide-
    resize-and-place-objects-on-top-of-screen,
    and this opens up new possibilities that
    weren't there before.
