Microsoft Surface is a multi-touch product from Microsoft which is developed as a combination of both hardware and software technology.It allows a user, or multiple users, to manipulate digital content by the use of gesture recognition.This could involve the motion of hands or physical objects.It has a 360-degree user interface, a 30 in (76 cm) reflective surface with a XGA DLP projector underneath the surface which projects an image onto its underside, while five cameras in the machine's housing record reflections of infrared light from objects and human fingertips on the surface. The surface is capable of object recognition, object/finger orientation recognition and tracking, and is multi-touch and is multi-user. Users can interact with the machine by touching or dragging their fingertips and objects such as paintbrushes across the screen, or by placing and moving placed objects.
Targeted customers are in the hospitality businesses, such as restaurants, hotels, retail, public entertainment venues and the military for tactical overviews.This fast approaching technology has the ability to expand into the mass market,possibilities for domestic use include a virtual serving tray,dinner table or game board .Currently the product is only available commercially,though this limitless technology could see implementation into everyday life in the not too near future.
