Microsoft Surface Computing Overview

Surface computing uses touch-sensitive screens instead of keyboards and mice, allowing for a natural user interface. A surface computer interacts with users through an ordinary object like a tabletop rather than a monitor. It recognizes physical objects and allows hands-on control of digital content through natural gestures and touch. Surface computing is predicted to break down barriers to technology by providing an intuitive interface without traditional input devices.

ABSTRACT

Surface computing is the term for 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 [Link] is a natural user interface.

Surface computer was created by Microsoft with surface. The Surface is a horizontal display on a table-like form. A surface computer is computer that interacts with the user through the surface of an ordinary object, rather than through a monitor and keyboard. Surface computing is predicted to break down traditional barriers to technology. The intuitive user interface works without a traditional mouse or keyboard, allowing people to interact with content and information by using their hands and natural movements. Surface computing features four key attributes - Multi-touch contact, Multi-user experience, Object recognition.

A surface computer is able to recognize physical objects from a paintbrush to a cell phone and allows hands-on, direct control of content such as photos, music and maps. Surface turns an ordinary tabletop into a dynamic surface that provides interaction with all forms of digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects.
