Microsoft took the world by surprise, introducing the first commercially available surface computer which turns an ordinary tabletop into a vibrant, interactive surface. The product provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects. Surface is a 30-inch display in a table-like form factor that's easy for individuals or small groups to interact with in a way that feels familiar, just like in the real world. In essence, it's a surface that comes to life for exploring, learning, sharing, creating, buying and much more. Soon to be available in restaurants, hotels, retail establishments and public entertainment venues, this experience will transform the way people shop, dine, entertain and live. Here's a Microsoft surface commercial...Look how simply the mobile phones describe their features after simply placing them on the surface. At a high level, Surface uses cameras to sense objects, hand gestures and touch. This user input is then processed and the result is displayed on the surface using rear projection.

It is a natural user interface that allows people to interact with digital content the same way they have interacted with everyday items such as photos, paintbrushes and music their entire life: with their hands, with gestures and by putting real-world objects on the surface. Surface computing opens up a whole new category of products for users to interact with. In the following video Bill gates himself introduces Microsoft surface...
So far touch screens can detect only one touch at a time. But this one can detect 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. Object recognition allows users to place physical objects on the surface to trigger different types of digital responses, including the transfer of digital content from camera automatically. Here's an exclusive review of Microsoft Surface
