Microsoft Surface Development
Microsoft Surface will change the way your customers interact with you forever. It delivers a futuristic, multi-touch interface that blows people away. The opportunities for Microsoft Surface are limitless.
Retail
Surface can be used in retail environments to allow product research, check stock availability - you could place a shoe on it to see what sizes are in stock, compare products, read reviews and complete purchases.
Hospitality
In hotels guests can be entertained, order drinks, see local attractions, read restaurant reviews, check in and check out.
Automotive
In the car showroom people can create their perfect car, see all upgrades and even take it for a virtual spin.
Health care
Health care providers can streamline the patient experience by allowing simple self service check in, customer history access, and interactive record analysis.
The Hardware
Microsoft Surface is an interactive multi-touch table that can be used by many users at once. The robust hardware weighs over 80kg and consists of a high performance Microsoft Vista PC, with image projection on to the table surface. There are two speakers, Bluetooth, Wi-fi and five infra-red cameras that recognise finger touches, objects on the screen and domino 'barcode' style tags.
Development
Applications for Microsoft Surface are built using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) with the Microsoft Surface SDK. Adobe Flash or your web browser is not directly supported.
