Microsoft Surface is a revolutionary multi-touch computer that allows for natural hand gestures and object recognition interactions. It has a large 30-inch display that makes it easy for multiple people to interact simultaneously. Users can directly manipulate digital content on the screen by touch and gestures without additional input devices. The Surface also recognizes physical objects placed on its screen and can transfer digital content to mobile devices. It was initially launched in 2008 for use in entertainment venues, hotels, and retail settings.
