Microsoft Surface is a multi-touch enabled table that allows multiple users to interact directly with digital content through hand gestures and physical objects. Surface has a 30-inch display and uses infrared cameras to recognize touches and objects on its interactive surface. It was developed by Microsoft as both a software and hardware product and aims to change how people interact with computers in a more natural and intuitive way.
Surface computing is the use of a specialized computer GUI in which traditional GUI elements are replaced by intuitive, everyday objects. Instead of a keyboard and mouse, the user interacts directly with a touch-sensitive screen. It has been said that this more closely replicates the familiar hands-on experience of everyday object manipulation.
Early work in this area was done at the University of Toronto, Alias Research, and MIT.Surface work has included customized solutions from vendors such as LM3LABS or GestureTek, Applied Minds for Northrop Grumman.Major computer vendor platforms are in various stages of release: the iTable by PQLabs, Linux MPX,the Ideum MT-50, interactive bar by spinTOUCH, and Microsoft PixelSense (formerly known as Microsoft Surface).
The name Surface comes from Surface Computing, and Microsoft envisions the coffee-table machine as the first of many such devices. Surface computing uses a blend of wireless protocols, special machine-readable tags and shape recognition to seamlessly merge the real and the virtual world — an idea the Milan team refers to as "blended reality." The table can be built with a variety of wireless transceivers, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and (eventually) radio frequency identification (RFID) and is designed to sync instantly with any device that touches its surface.
It supports multiple touch points – Microsoft says "dozens and dozens" -- as well as multiple users simultaneously, so more than one person could be using it at once, or one person could be doing multiple tasks.
The term "surface" describes how it's used. There is no keyboard or mouse. All interactions with the computer are done via touching the surface of the computer's screen with hands or brushes, or via wireless interaction with devices such as smartphones, digital cameras or Microsoft's Zune music player. Because of the cameras, the device can also recognize physical objects; for instance credit cards or hotel "Loyalty" cards.
For instance, a user could set a digital camera down on the tabletop and wirelessly transfer pictures into folders on Surface's hard drive. Or setting a music player down would let a user drag songs from his or her home music collection directly into the player, or between two players, using a finger – or transfer mapping information for the location of a restaurant where you just made reservations through a Surface tabletop over to a smartphone just before you walk out the door.

Microsoft Surface is a Multi-touch product from Microsoft which is developed as software and hardware combination technology that allows a user, or multiple users, to manipulate digital content by the use of natural motions, hand gestures, or physical objects
The way we use computers today will soon change. The technology of the future will allow us to interact with the computer on a whole different level from what we are used to. The tools we use to communicate with the computer - such as the mouse and the keyboard, will slowly disappear and be replaced with tools more comfortable and more natural for the human being to use. That future is already here. The increase rate of how touch screen hardware and applications are used is growing rapidly and will break new grounds in years to come. This new technology requires new ways of detecting inputs from the user-inputs which will be made out of on-screen gestures rather than by the pressing of buttons or rolling mouse wheels.
The name Surface comes from "surface computing”. Surface computing uses a blend of wireless protocols, special machine-readable tags and shape recognition to seamlessly merge the real and the virtual world. Multi-touch technology is an advanced human-computer interaction technique that recognizes multiple touch points and also includes the hardware devices that implement it.

4. SURFACE is a hole new
category of computer
device.
It is near to same
computer as the our PC ,
Laptop ,Pam tom .
Invention by Microsoft
Group
It was announcedon
May 29, 2007
5. Microsoft Surface is a forthcoming Multi- touch
product from Microsoft which is developed as a
software and hardware combination.
Technology that allows a user, or multiple users, to
manipulate digital content by the use of natural
motions, hand gestures, or physical objects.
Surface is essentially a Windows Vista PC tucked
inside a table, topped with a 30-inch reflective surface
in a clear acrylic frame
6. It has at least a 25-year history, beginning in 1982,
with pioneering work being done at the University of
Toronto (multi-touch tablets) and Bell Labs (multi-touch
screens).
The product idea for Surface was initially conceptualized
in 2001 by Steven Bathiche of Microsoft Hardware and
Andy Wilson of Microsoft Research. 2001.
key members of the team , bring the idea to the next
stage of development In 2003.
And they presented the idea to the Microsoft Chairman
Bill Gates.
7. Later, the virtual team was expanded
and a prototype nicknamed T1 was
produced within a month.
The team also developed some
applications,
• including pinball
• a photo browser and
• a video puzzle.
The final hardware design was
completed in 2005. Surface was
unveiled by Microsoft CEO Steve
Ballmer on May 30, 2007, at The Digital
conference in Carlsbad, California.
8. A concept of multitouch first
used in the 2002 science
fiction Hollywood movie
Minority Report and in
the 2005 another science
fiction movie The Island, by
Sean Bean's character "Merrick".
In also Hindi film krrish the
another science fiction movie.
It was director Michael Bay stated
the concept of the device came
from consultation with Microsoft
during the making of the movie
9. Surface is first Microsoft windows vista packed tucked inside a table,
topped with a 30-inch reflective surface in a clear acrylic frame.
Surface is 30 inches display in a table like foam factor.
It turns ordinary tabletop into a vibrant and interactive surface.
surface can recognize 52 touches and dozen of movement like gesture
and actual moving objects.
Surface is first use to commercial purpose and then they can use in
private users.
10. Microsoft notes four
main components being
important in Surface's
interface:
direct interaction,
multi-touch contact,
a multi-user experience,
and
object recognition.
11. Direct interaction with the system , without the
need for a mouse or keyboard, its make simple
for the user to apply.
The technology allows non-digital objects to be
used as input devices. In one example, a normal
paint brush was used to create a digital painting in
the software.
This is made possible by the fact that, in using
cameras for input…
12. The computer's "vision" is created by a near-
infrared, 850-nanometer-wavelength LED light the
surface.
When an object touches the tabletop, the light is
reflected to multiple infrared cameras with a
net resolution of 1280 x 960, allowing it to
sense, and react to items touching the
tabletop.
Surface with basic applications, including photos,
music, virtual concierge, and games, that can
be customized for the customers.
