Chama-se surface, e apesar de já existir em fase de testes á já algum tempo, o gigante microsoft avança com uma versao final.
In its current form, Surface is incorporated into a 30″ display mounted into a table. This allows user involvement to expand beyond just one person. Surface is capable of recognizing input from not just one finger, but multiple up to dozens of inputs simultaneously. This technology isn’t exactly new as Apple uses a less complex version on its iPhone and “multi-touch” technology was demonstrated by Jeff Han to much fanfare last year. Microsoft, however, is bringing multi-touch to the masses. Users can perform tasks such as browsing through pictures and music files by simply using their fingers. For users operating Surface in restaurants, a simple touch of the screen could allow you to order a beverage during a meal.
Surface also has the ability to read bar codes on items to provide further information to the user. “This means that when a customer simply sets a wine glass on the surface of a table, a restaurant could provide them with information about the wine they’re ordering, pictures of the vineyard it came from and suggested food pairings tailored to that evening’s menu,” said Microsoft. “The experience could become completely immersive, letting users access information on the wine-growing region and even look at recommended hotels and plan a trip without leaving the table.” Microsoft also notes that the transfer of digital content is also possible with Surface. So it’s not too hard to envision being able to set your Zune on Surface and transfer your playlist or video files for playback on the 30″ display. Microsoft also released a nice short video clip showing the features of this new super gadget. With a 30-inch screen, Surface will initially sell for between $5,000 and $10,000.
Bem, nada como ver para crer...
