pixelsense microsoft surface 2 0 available in english danish german spanish french italian korean norwegian dutch swedish website www pixelsense com microsoft pixelsense formerly called microsoft surface was an interactive surface computing platform that allowed one or more people to use and touch real world objects and share digital content at the same time the pixelsense platform consists of software and hardware products that combine vision based multitouch pc hardware 360 degree multiuser application design and windows software to create a natural user interface nui overview edit microsoft surface 1 0 the first version of pixelsense was announced on may 29 2007 at the d5 conference 2 it shipped to customers in 2008 as an end to end solution with microsoft producing and selling the combined hardware software platform it is a 30 inch 76 cm 4 3 rear projection display 1024 768 with an integrated pc and five near infrared ir cameras that can see fingers and objects placed on the display the display is placed in a horizontal orientation giving it a table like appearance the product and its applications are designed so that several people can approach the display from all sides to simultaneously share and interact with digital content the cameras vision capabilities enable the product to see a near ir image of what is placed on the screen captured at approximately 60 times per second the surface platform processing identifies three types of objects touching the screen fingers tags and blobs raw vision data is also available and can be used in applications the device is optimized to recognize 52 simultaneous multitouch points of contact microsoft corporation produced the hardware and software for the microsoft surface 1 0 product sales of microsoft surface 1 0 were discontinued in 2011 in anticipation of the release of the samsung sur40 for microsoft surface and the microsoft surface 2 0 software platform microsoft and samsung partnered to announce the current version of pixelsense the samsung sur40 for microsoft surface sur40 at the consumer electronics show ces in 2011 3 samsung began shipping the new sur40 hardware with the microsoft surface 2 0 software platform to customers in early 2012 the samsung sur40 is a 40 inch 100 cm 16 9 led backlit lcd 1920 1080 with integrated pc and pixelsense technology which replaces the cameras in the previous product pixelsense technology enables samsung and microsoft to reduce the thickness of the product from 22 inches to 4 inches 56 to 10 cm the size reduction enables the product to be placed horizontally and adds the capability to be mounted vertically while retaining the ability to recognize fingers tags blobs and utilize raw vision data target market edit pixelsense is designed primarily for use by commercial customers to use in public settings people interact with the product using direct touch interactions and by placing objects on the screen objects of a specific size and shape or with tag patterns can be uniquely identified to initiate a preprogrammed response by the computer the device does not require the use of a traditional pc mouse or keyboard and generally does not require training or foreknowledge to operate additionally the system is designed to interact with several people at the same time so that content can be shared without the limitations of a single user device these combined characteristics place the microsoft surface platform in the category of so called natural user interface nui the apparent successor to the graphical user interface gui systems popularized in the 1980s and 1990s microsoft states that sales of pixelsense are targeted toward the following industry vertical markets retail media and entertainment healthcare financial services education and government pixelsense is available for sale in over 40 countries including united states canada austria belgium denmark france germany ireland italy norway netherlands qatar saudi arabia spain sweden switzerland united arab emirates uae united kingdom uk australia korea india singapore and hong kong history edit demonstration using original microsoft surface view in higher quality the idea for the product was initially conceptualized in 2001 by steven bathiche of microsoft hardware and andy wilson of microsoft research 4 in october 2001 dj kurlander michael kim joel dehlin bathiche and wilson formed a virtual team to bring the idea to the next stage of development in 2003 the team presented the idea to the microsoft chairman bill gates in a group review later the virtual team was expanded and a prototype nicknamed t1 was produced within a month the prototype was based on an ikea table with a hole cut in the top and a sheet of architect vellum used as a diffuser the team also developed some applications including pinball a photo browser and a video puzzle over the next year microsoft built more than 85 prototypes the final hardware design was completed in 2005 a similar concept was used in the 2002 science fiction movie minority report as noted in the dvd commentary the director steven spielberg stated the concept of the device came from consultation with microsoft during the making of the movie one of the film s technology consultant s associates from mit later joined microsoft to work on the project 5 self published source the technology was unveiled as under the microsoft surface name by microsoft ceo steve ballmer on may 30 2007 at the wall street journal s d all things digital conference in carlsbad california 6 surface computing is part of microsoft s productivity and extended consumer experiences group which is within the entertainment devices division the first few companies slated to deploy it were harrah s entertainment starwood hotels and resorts t mobile and a distributor international game technology 7 on april 17 2008 at t became the first retailer to sell the product 8 in june 2008 harrah s entertainment launched microsoft surface at rio ibar 9 and disneyland launched it in tomorrowland innoventions dream home 10 on august 13 2008 sheraton hotels introduced it in their hotel lobbies at 5 locations 11 on september 8 2008 msnbc began using it to work with election maps for the 2008 u s presidential election on air citation needed on june 18 2012 the product was re branded under the name microsoft pixelsense as a result of the company adopting the surface brand for its newly unveiled series of tablet pcs 12 the samsung sur40 was discontinued in 2013 13 the name microsoft pixelsense is also used to market the display technology included in the surface line of personal computers similar to how apple uses the term retina display features edit object recognition microsoft notes four main components being important in the pixelsense interface direct interaction multi touch contact a multi user experience and object recognition direct interaction refers to the user s ability to simply reach out and touch the interface of an application in order to interact with it without the need for a mouse or keyboard multi touch contact refers to the ability to have multiple contact points with an interface unlike with a mouse where there is only one cursor multi user experience is a benefit of multi touch several people can orient themselves on different sides of the surface to interact with an application simultaneously object recognition refers to the device s ability to recognize the presence and orientation of tagged objects placed on top of it the technology allows non digital objects to be used as input devices in one example a normal paint brush was used to create a digital painting in the software 14 this is made possible by the fact that in using cameras for input the system does not rely on restrictive properties required of conventional touchscreen or touchpad devices such as the capacitance electrical resistance or temperature of the tool used see touchscreen in the old technology the computer s vision was created by a near infrared 850 nanometer wavelength led light source aimed at the surface when an object touched the tabletop the light was reflected to multiple infrared cameras with a net resolution of 1024px 768px allowing it to sense and react to items touching the tabletop the system ships with basic applications including photos music virtual concierge and games that can be customized for the customers 15 a feature that comes preinstalled is the attract application an image of water with leaves and rocks within it by touching the screen users can create ripples in the water much like a real stream additionally the pressure of touch alters the size of the ripple created and objects placed into the water create a barrier that ripples bounce off just as they would in a real pond the technology used in newer devices allows recognition of fingers tag blob raw data and objects that are placed on the screen allowing vision based interaction without the use of cameras sensors in the individual pixels in the display register what is touching the screen hardware specifications edit microsoft surface 1 0 edit software
