Microsoft Brings Technology to the Surface
Posted on July 16, 2008 - Filed Under Technology
Surface is an exciting foray into the brave new world of 21st Century technology. Unlike the release of another iteration of Windows, Surface viably has the potential to revolutionize not only the computer and electronics industries, but it could have a significant effect on the world as we know it. Microsoft’s Surface brings the physical and digital worlds together on a table. People can touch, move and manipulate the data appearing on the screen. Groups can use Surface together or share the space for their individual tasks. It’s a surreal experience reminiscent of Spielberg’s Minority Report.
It isn’t necessary to visit a Hollywood set to see the device in action. The curious, skeptic, and enthusiastic can all experience Surface right now. See how Surface brings innovation home at Disneyland through their new Tomorrowland “Dream Home” attraction. In Las Vegas, the iBar at the Rio All Suite Hotel boasts multiple Surface units for guest use. When at select AT&T stores nationwide, you may be treated to a new Surface shopping experience. As interest in the technology grows, it’s a safe bet that units will be available to use in more locations.
Currently, Surface is only available at commercial venues and it is not yet being made available to the general public for sale, rent, loan or lease. However, consumers will not have to wait long to get their hands on their own personal Surface. Via their official Surface web page, Microsoft has mentioned plans to release the ground-breaking gadget within the next three to five years.
