Paper Details

In this paper we introduce a new type of computing technology which allows manipulation of digital contentin new ways that is beyond the possibility of simple desktop computers. This technology is known as surface computingbased on a switchable project screen which can be diffused or cleared under electronic control. It uses a special rearprojection system that displays on the underside of a thin diffuser. The surface computer was a technology created byMicrosoft using the idea of a coffee -table like design which was based on a multi-touch interface. The surface is ahorizontal display on a table like form which supports multiple touches and uses them to manipulate and navigate all thecontent. It is a computing technology that allows a user to communicate through the surface of an ordinary object ratherthan a keyboard or mouse, with the computer. All the interaction can be done by touching the computer’s screen byhands or brushes. It also provides the feature of wireless interaction with other devices such as smart phones, digitalcameras, etc.
