The Microsoft Surface platform brings people the feeling of touching the real world. It is a new technology that combines hardware and software. Users can directly give instructions to the screen by hand or voice, touch and other external physical objects to interact with the computer. Recently, the Microsoft Surface 2.0 SDK was released on April 9, July 12. It is available in the Microsoft download center for free download. Surface 2.0 uses the latest technology: WPF 4.0, xNa 4.0, and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit). The biggest difference with General touch computers is that it provides multi-touch) function, which can recognize multi-touch information at the same time, allowing multiple people to use a Surface computer at the same time. Object recognition allows different objects placed on the surface to initiate different types of digital responses.
