What is Microsoft Surface?
Microsoft Surface™, the first commercially
available surface computer from Microsoft Corp.,
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.
How does Surface work?
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.
What is surface computing?
Surface computing is a new way of working with
computers that moves beyond the traditional
mouse-and-keyboard experience. 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.
What are the key attributes of surface computing?
Surface computing has four key attributes:
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.
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.

SarcasticGamer.com presents a twisted take on one
of Microsoft's latest and greatest announcements.
Truth be told, We actually WANT a Surface
Computer, but since we can't afford one, we
thought it might be fun to make fun of it.
