More Surface: Exclusive Demo Video

By

Following on from my exclusive video of Paolo Barone (@pbarone) introducing us to Microsoft Surface, I had a chance to have another play with the revolutionary device, and shoot some more video.

Here I have a deeper dive into the world of Surface: the applications, the user experience, its use in the real world and more. Check out the complete Surface experience, including demo programs illustrating how Surface could very soon be part of our everyday lives.

Microsoft Surface – Exclusive Video Introduction

So have you all heard of Microsoft Surface?

For those haven’t, Surface represents a new way of not only interacting with computers, but also with each other.

Surface has a revolutionary design, of a large touch-interactive screen on the top of a table unit. This allows many users to gather around the table, and take advantage of the unit’s massive multi-touch capacity (up to 150 fingers have been tracked simultaneously on the device – we would have tried more but that took 15 people to squeeze round the table as it was!).

MSP Launch Event: Day 2

So the second day of the MSP Launch Event at Microsoft TVP is over, the freebies have been collected, and it’s time to reflect on the events of the past two days.

Today was another excellent day of presentations and demos. Starting off with an overview of the programme with Ed and @SarahMelrose, we had a brilliant overview of social media with Marc Holmes (@MarcHolmes), followed by Dom Green (@domgreen) with a brilliant presentation finally delving into working with Windows Azure.
