Microsoft Surface - WOW!


Microsoft unveiled an unbelievable new product last month called "Surface". Surface is basically a touch screen table top computer that offers an endless array of possibilities. Here are some ideas of what the product can do:
1) Place a digital camera on the surface and it automatically reads all the images which can be moved re-sized, manipulated, etc.
2) Place your cell phone on the surface and it will tell you anything you need to know about your phone, allow you to drag new ring tones, upgrade to a better model, download directions, etc.
3) Place multiple credit cards on the surface and drag and drop different menu items from a restaurant as a way of splitting the bill.

envisions using the technology to provide real estate professionals with an ability to create a totally virtual sales office. Imagine being able to select a group of properties within a certain price range and then with the flex of your wrist start a 3d walkthrough, view a 3d rendering or 3d floor plan or start a video of what the surrounding area has to offer.


About
Surface is the first commercially available surface computing platform from Microsoft Corporation. It turns an ordinary tabletop into a vibrant, interactive surface. The product provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects. In essence, it’s a surface that comes to life for exploring, learning, sharing, creating, buying and much more. Soon to be available in restaurants, hotels, retail and public entertainment venues, this experience will transform the way people shop, dine, entertain and live.
