Want to turn your ordinary table into a vibrant, interactive surface? Microsoft just got one for you. The Microsoft Surface. It’s the first commercially-available surface computing platform that provides effortless access to digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects. Today, it’s a 30-inch diagonal display in a table-like form factor that’s easy for individuals or multiple people to interact with in a way that feels familiar, just like in the real world.


Led by Microsoft, surface computing is a major advancement that moves beyond the traditional user interface to a more natural way of interacting with information. It features four key attributes:

  • Direct Interaction
  • Multi-touch
  • Multi-user
  • Object Recognition

Microsoft Surface uses cameras to sense objects, hand gestures and touch. This user input is then processed and displayed using rear projection.
