Surface: Ang PC sa Kape nga Lamesa ni Microsoft

Listen to article

Kuhaa nga Warcraft 3 game nga makaplay sa usa ka lapad nga LCD table? Microsoft nagahimo og usa (halos parehas niini) ug gitawag kini nga Surface.

Surface sa pagkakasabot usa ka Windows Vista PC nga gitukod sulod sa usa ka sinaw nga itom nga base sa lamesa, nga gipatong og 30-inch touchscreen sa klaro nga acrylic frame. Lima ka mga kamera nga makakapahibalo sa mga butang duol niini gipatong ubos sa screen. Ang mga user mahimong mag-interact sa makina pinaagi sa pagdumot o pagdugay sa ilang mga tudlo ug mga butang sama sa paintbrushes ibabaw sa screen, o pinaagi sa pagbutang sa mga tinubod nga butang nga may espesyal nga bar-code labels ibabaw niini.

Microsoft Surface

Kini usab nag-interact sa imong ubang mga device nga walay problema...

Usa sa pinakarebolusyonaryong bahagi sa Surface, bisan pa, mao ang iyang natural nga interaksyon sa mga pangadlaw-adlaw nga butang ug teknolohiya. Pananglitan, kung imong ihatag ang Wi-Fi-enabled na digital nga kamera sa lamesa, makita sa Surface ang kamera ug buhaton kini usa ka dakong butang: Gibuak niini ang imong mga digital nga hulagway ug video sa lamesa aron tan-awon nimo, ilihok, ayohon o padala. Ang mga hulagway literal nga nagtubo sa usa ka pool sa kolor.

Dapat nga makita ang bidyo dinhi sa MSNBC aron masabtan kung unsa ka cool kini.

I must say that your entire blog site is rather insightful. I’ve been expending a bunch of spare time during the last couple weeks exploring at what is around influenced by the very fact that I will be arranging to launch a web log. The knowledge you have put on here is literally to the point. It just looks so bewildering pertaining to all the technology that are out there, but I love the way your seems to be. Gotta have a passion for where software has come through the previous eight yrs.

Oh yeah, I remember that scene. Well, what do you know, it’s science fiction no more.

I’m really looking forward in how Surface would fare in the future. Not just as a coffee table, but in the general application as a whole.

Remember the time Lincoln was asked to go to the doctor’s office and complained about nightmares? Lincoln drew the renovatio boat on a drawing app on the table. Prior to Lincoln entering the office, the Doctor was looking at Jordan’s files on the same table.

I can’t recall that I’ve seen a similar technology on the film. However, with the futuristic setting the film is in, i guess having such technology is possible.

P.S., Surface reminds me of this office table I saw in the film The Island. Does anyone recall that? :)

Well, combine Microsoft Surface with Microsoft Photosynth, a demo of which I saw just now (http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/129) and I’m sure Microsoft will regain it’s coolness factor. :)

Thanks Jeffrey Wong for the price. I am not surprised that it would cost that much considering its advanced technology. Do you guys think it will be available here in the Philippines?

Having this on Starbucks would be a plus. Or in an office setting where people could meet and talk around Surface.

I can’t help but smile and be amazed as I was watching the video for surface. This is a really cool piece of gadget. I wonder how much it will cost. Let us hope we dont leave any coffee stains on it.

I think this table is not suitable for its name “coffee table”. It more likely an “image table” or live-edit-photo-album table.

Yep, it looks like the href=”http://www.jozzua.com/2007/06/01/touch-screen-technology-the-future-of-computing/future of computing alright. Touch screen and surface computing looks very promising. Problem with surface is the large price tag. Jeff Han says touch screen technology is affordable.
