Microsoft Surface

Imagine you are in a restaurant where you can browse the menu, order and split your bill using your fingertips literally! Microsoft has made this a reality by bringing computing to your table, with a revolutionary techology called Microsoft Surface.

Microsoft Surface is a computer in form of a table which uses a 30 inch tabletop as it's screen. It allows several users to interact with it using touch and hand gestures. There is no need for keyboard or a mouse.

Here are few scenarios where this technology can be used:

  • Place a cell phone on a tabletop. It shows the features of the cell phone,pricing and different plans the provider is offering. Now you can customize the service plan offerings by dragging and dropping icons.
  • Diners split a tab by dragging meal icons to their credit cards.
  • Place a card on the table and it pulls all the digital photos from a server, which you can arrange across the table.
  • Gaming, Music playlist browsing, painting and virtual concierge etc.

Microsoft may eventually change shape of surface computer depending on where it is used . Who knows you may someday have one of these gizmos hanging on your refrigerator!
