Microsoft Surface. The full list of killer apps.
Juli 8th, 2009 • Surface
Razorfish (the agency I work for) is part of the Microsoft empire. I admit, all too often Microsoft is equalized with Windows Vista. But in fact, Microsoft has also developed a bunch of very sophisticated solutions far beyond its classic OS business. While I have already presented Microsoft’s Project Natal I would like to put today’s focus on the brand’s Surface table.
Surface is is a multi-touch table which is developed as a software and hardware combination technology that allows a user, or multiple users, to manipulate digital content by the use of natural motions, hand gestures, or physical objects. Surface is perfect for all consulting-like situations, e.g. while you look for a new car or negotiate a credit in your bank.
This is an application example by Neue Digitale / Razorfish, intertwining Facebook Connect, Surface and events.

And this is a similar example by our sister agency Amnesia Razorfish in Australia.

While Surface is still pretty much exclusively being sold by Microsoft and Razorfish, a couple of interesting applications have already been built. Razorfish’s Emerging Experiences Techie-Blog has sent me to an article by Fast Company which features some of the hottest Surface table applications on the market today.
