Microsoft® Surface® 1.0
Introduction
Microsoft® Surface® 1.0 introduces a new relationship between people and technology, one that unfolds intuitively through the natural input of human touch.
In concrete terms, Microsoft® Surface® is a device which enables digital content to be directly manipulated using touch.
The 360° interface enables several users to interact with each other simultaneously, creating a particularly innovative new kind of experience.
Exclusive: AFTER-MOUSE.COM has had a Microsoft® Surface® 1.0 developer unit since early February 2009!
A major reason we are considered the leader in this field with over 60 business applications developed for Surface 1.0 and over 20 ready for the Surface 2.0
A number of characteristics make the Microsoft® Surface® 1.0 unit unique:
- Direct interaction: users interact with content through touch and gesture, with no intervening physical device such as a mouse. With the passing of the mouse, the way is open for the era of touch, the "AFTER-MOUSE.COM" era
- Multi-touch: the unit recognizes over 50 touches simultaneously, so you can work with both hands together
- Multi-user: the horizontal 24" x 18" (30" diagonal) screen makes it easy for several people to work together around the device
- Object recognition: physical objects are recognized via special tags or simple shape recognition by being placed on the display
Technical data
A PC running Microsoft Windows Vista Business SP1 is integrated into the unit.
