What Is Microsoft Surface?

Microsoft Surface™ is a revolutionary surface computing platform that responds to natural hand gestures and real-world objects, helping visitors interact with technology in a way that is simple, intuitive—and unprecedented. Quatrefoil is an authorized partner working with Microsoft on developing new applications for the Surface.

What Makes Microsoft Surface Unique?

Direct Interaction. Users can “grab” digital information—interacting with content by touch and gesture. The Surface is immediately intuitive and maximizes the ability to convey content.

Multi-Touch. The interface recognizes many points of contact simultaneously—touch and objects—not just one point as with a typical touch screen.

Multi-User Experience. The 30-inch diagonal display creates a unique gathering place where multiple visitors collaboratively interact.

Object Recognition. Microsoft Surface recognizes real-world objects, providing the potential for transfer of information between devices, opening the door to more immersive interaction.
