  1. Microsoft SurfaceTM Chris Goff 16/06/09

  2. Touch interactivity is all around us Point of sale Sat Nav Control Panels Gaming Phone

  3. Interactivity in education SMART Boards Interactive Overlay • Enrich lessons • Collaborative learning • Annotation in electronic ink • Mostly single touch Interactive Tables

  4. How is Surface different? CLI NUI GUI Command Line Interface Graphical User Interface Natural User Interface

  5. Microsoft Surface and NUI Microsoft Surface computing uses sensing and display technology to infuse everyday surfaces with digital content and is comprised of the following unique attributes: Multi-user Multi-touch Object recognition Direct 360o interaction

  6. How Surface is being used today Automotive Financial Services Healthcare Leisure Retail Education

  7. Introducing Finguistics Collaborative wordplay game • English, Spanish, French, Maths • KS1 to KS3 • Only possible on Surface

  8. When can you buy Surface? • Microsoft still in seeding phase • General release end 2009 • Price – TBC • Limited software available – paint, music, photo • More titles available after seeding phase as developers release apps.

  9. Thank you for listening

  10. 3D Projection Overview Martin Parry – Product Division Mgr

  11. 3D Background 3 Types of 3D: Anaglyph Polarised Stereoscopic

  12. Anaglyph 3D Uses different colour filters to produce two images within one picture. Can be Red/Blue, Red/Green, or Red/Cyan Pros: Cheap glasses, content is easy to create, technology has been around for decades. Cons: Quality is poor when compared to other technologies

  13. Polarised 3D (current technology) Image separation achieved by polarizing the light differently. Glasses filter the light so that each eye perceives the different image. Special screen must be used to preserve light polarization (aka “Silver Screen”). Pros: Passive glasses are relatively inexpensive Cons: High set-up cost, projectors must be perfectly aligned with one another, special projection screen needed

  14. Stereoscopic 3D using DLP technology Image is generated in a frame sequential format (alternating left & right frames) Shutter glasses are synchronized with the image and turn on/off with each frame of data Pros: Image quality is better, hardware cost is less than polarized option Cons: Glasses cost is higher than passive, limited content at the moment

  15. 3D Uses in Education? Visualize molecules… Appreciate the Arts… Get a close look at the Sciences Dissect a frog… Simplify geometry… Virtual tour the pyramids…
