You may not realize it, but UR already has two (first generation) Microsoft Surfaces on campus. The first is located in the Carole Weinstein International Center. It’s twin is housed right here in the CTLT liaison lounge.
Samsung’s Surface 2.0 (SUR40) has been in testing for over a year, and it is finally shipping! According to the Samsung website: Samsung SUR40 is the new generation of Microsoft® Surface® experience featuring PixelSense™ technology, which gives LCD panels the power to see without the use of cameras. Building from the innovation of the first version of Microsoft® Surface® and Samsung’s leading display technology, it is now possible for people to share, collaborate and explore together using a large, thin display that recognizes fingers, hands and other objects placed on the screen.
