Microsoft Surface - New Face of Technology


MICROSOFT SURFACE



Microsoft - the very name strikes about it being a Software company which changed the world with its operating systems, Servers, Different Technologies etc…. Now, in this post millennium, Microsoft has come up with different new varieties of operating systems and Technologies. Lately we also have seen Microsoft changing its trend of being a Global Software Company to Hardware Company. This transformation is the result of different products like XBOX, ZUNE and now SURFACE.
















Microsoft Surface - The new face of Technology revolution which started way back in 2001 (again post Millennium) by Steve Bathiche and Andy Wilson started working on concepts of Interactive table. By early 2003 this led to the making of first prototype model using the IKEA table was born and this was the start of Surface Computing. Later several researches have been done and they came up with 37 different prototypes which can be used in our daily lives on a regular basis.
Consider using a computer as a 30 inch table where we can put anything and do anything we want. Like using them as Tables in restaurants, household, retail locations, Casinos, resorts… it’s simply like where ever you use a table u can use this. Let’s dig deeper into what this surface computing is all about….























Early days children use to use small tables which have sheets of paper attached to it and they can sit and draw their imagination into drawings, and play games and other things on that table. This very concept has let to the designing of Microsoft Surface. These concepts are so strong that now with the mere touch on the table you can do wonders. Say you have a camera with photos in it. Just place it on the surface. It will recognize the camera and it will display all the pictures in it around the camera. Place a phone on the table it will get you all the details you want from it or into it just by drag and drop. Drag and Drop concept is widely used by Microsoft in most of its technologies lately.
What ever might be the Big daddy of all is showing its true power slowly and steadily by venturing into a new jungle altogether. I wish them Luck and success in their innovations.
