What
is Microsoft Surface?
The Microsoft Surface® platform brings people together to connect,
learn, and decide. It enables experiences that change the way people
collaborate and connect with a 360-degree interface. And, with PixelSense™,
Microsoft Surface sees and responds to touch and real world objects—supporting
more than 50 simultaneous inputs.
