    Surface computing turns ordinary surfaces like tables into interactive touchscreens. Users can interact directly using fingers for tasks like manipulating photos or sharing music between devices. It allows for multi-touch and multi-user input. Physical objects can be placed on the surface and recognized to trigger responses. While enabling new forms of collaboration, surface computing is currently expensive and limited to fixed installations rather than portable use.

    INTRODUCTION
    A surface computer is a computer that interacts with the user
    through the surface of an ordinary object, rather than through
    a monitor and keyboard.
    No mouse or keyboard are required.
    User interacts with touch-sensitive screen. people use their
    fingers and to manipulate.
    Turns an ordinary tabletop into a vibrant and interactive
    surface
    Provides effortless access to digital content through natural
    gestures, touch and physical objects
    Come to life for exploring, learning, sharing, creating, buying
    and much more
    Available in the retail, hospitality, automotive, banking and
    healthcare industries
    History
    2001: Microsoft researchers “Steve Bark son” and “Andy
    Wilson” developed idea of an interactive table.
    2003: 1st prototype (T1) was presented to Bill Gates for
    approval.
    2004: Here it came up in the form of “Tub prototype”.
    2007: Interactive tabletop device was built that seamlessly
    brings both the physical and virtual worlds into one.

    T1 Prototype
    Surface Computing
     Touch based graphical user interface.
     Dynamic interface that can recognize multiple objects
    that are placed on the surface and distinguish the
    difference between them- two cell phones to compare
    features or prices.
     Uses multipoint sensors on the surface to recognize
    many points of contact so many people can use it at one
    time.
     Allows manipulation and direct control of digital content
    like photos- which can be resized bigger or smaller
    instantly with the touch of a finger(s).
    Features

     Types Of Surface technology attributes


     Direct Interaction
     Multi Touch
     Multi-user
     Object Recognition
    Direct Interaction: interacting with touch instead
    of a keyboard or mouse
    Multi Touch: several points of contact at once
    Multiuser: many users collaborating at one time
    Object Recognition: physical objects have tags to
    recognize and trigger different responses
    Main Parts of Surface Computing
     Multi touch Screen (30 inch screen 1024 x 768
    resolution)
     CPU- Central Processing Unit
     Microsoft operating system of Vista
     Intel dual core processor backed by 2GB of RAM
     256MB video card
     5 video infrared cameras
     DLP projector

    Each unit will cost between $5,000 - $10,000 currently


    Set-UP Of Surface Computing

    1. Multi-touch Screen
    2. Infrared LED light source- multiple cameras net
    resolution 1024 x 768
    3. CPU- Central Processing Unit
    4. Projector- DLP light engine resolution 1024 x768 pixels
    Design and Working

    Uses cameras to
    sense objects, hand
    gestures and touch.
    User input is then
    processed.

    Displayed using rear


    projection.
    Implementation

    A real paint brush being used to draw a face on the


    Surface computer.

    Swapping music from one mp3


    player to another.
    Mobile phones with domino tags is placed on Surface's top and
    the relevant information for the handset is brought up.

    Play games with family and friends.


    Domino tags can be placed on top of the Surface computer, which
    then recognizes commands from the pattern of eight dots.

    The glass has a domino tag on the bottom which sends


    information about what the drink is, and potentially how and
    where it's made. It could even be used to order another drink.
    Positive vs. Negative
    Positive  Negative
    • Multi users- collaborative
     • Not portable- table has to
    effort of users interacting
    stay put
    • Seamless- no wires or USB
    ports  • Must own devices such as a
    • Instant download/upload of cell phone to upload photos
    photos into or share with others
    • Users have more control of  • Have to be careful of table
    technology- ordering food or surface to not damage it
    manipulating photos fast  • Very expensive to own
    • Educational- learn more  • Tailored to high end clients

    are using
    Conclusion
     During the last 10 years the surface computing technique
    has been developed in to a very useful technology with
    numerous applications.
     Microsoft Surface is more than a computer. It’s a leap
    ahead in digital interaction. By enabling you to use your
    hands instead of a keyboard and mouse, it revolutionizes
    the way you interact with digital content, while keeping the
    ability to connect with other devices such as networks,
    printers, mobile devices, card readers, and more.
