Computing without any horizons.... SURFACE COMPUTING



Now a days even though computer has been reduced from a bulky half a football gound occupying machine to a machine which can fit easily into one's palms, there are still questions about its credibility and people still demand a lot more from the computing world. Computer scientists haev now come up with a new IDEA - JO BADAL DE APKI ZINDAGI and is going to take computers to a completely new level. They have named it as surface computing. This drives away computer from dusty tables and sweaty hands and each and every surface can act as a computer and can guide us in the daily tasks. Seems an exiting idea. Microsoft actuallly started this project quite a decade ago and it has tasted a part of sucess very recently. This technology using capacitive touch also sets a new era of multiple touch computing. A kid can just walk to a surface computer and can use all its fingers to paint its imaginations. Moreover the thing that exites me the most in surface computing is its complete internal management of file trasfer system and the ease it provides to the users. If u have an Ipod and would like to trasfer cool numbers to it, then just switch on your SC(Surface computer) , place the ipod on it and drag the files from the destination to the ipod and u are done. This requires a small ship to be stuck behind the ipod or the device you want ur SC to interact with. It also has a series of INFRARED cameras that recognises the object placed on it. Imagine you are holding a wine glass, just place it on SC to know what actually u are drinking, which winary is it from and u can also mark it as ur favourite and keep it for ur future references. A WINDOWS phone in combination with a SC can help us in customising any of the products we want to buy, save them for future refences and also allows changes to be made. Say BYE BYE to the SWIPE CARD mechanism of CREDIT CARDS. just place the credit card on the surface computer, selects the items to be billed snd with the help of ur fingerprint the transaction is done. It really sounds great. Though surface computers designed from microsofts have hit the market, they are mainly seen in high profile BARS and Restaurants. This amazing new technology is yet to be tasted by a common man. Hope it come out soon to market.....
It becomes very difficult to imagine this if you are hearing it for the first time. So do visit this link to watch the video of SC demonstrated by MICROSOFT...
LET THE TOUCH CREATE MAGIC....
