Microsofts New Surface Computing Table


If you haven’t already heard about Surface from Microsoft you definitely need to check it out. This computer, shaped like a small table, takes the touch sensitive screen to an entirely new level. It has the potential to actually start blurring the line between the real world and the digital one. Imagine just dropping your digital camera onto Surface and having the photos you’ve taken spill out onto the table top. If you want to transfer a couple of those pictures to your phone, just place it on the table and drag the pictures you want over to it. It’s that simple and intuitive. This technology probably won’t replace desktop PC anytime in the near future, but the commercial applications for Microsoft’s Surface are incredible. You can check all of this out on Microsoft’s website: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/ The videos there are a great indication of the potential for this technology.
