Surfacing at D, yet again

So last year was Microsoft Surface’s coming out party at the Wall Street Journal’s D: All Things Digital conference. We’ll we’re back again…kind of.

 

By now you’ve heard the news… last night at D, Microsoft’s Julie Larson-Green showed Walt Mossberg some of the cool multi-touch innovations that will be included in the next version of Windows. The Windows and Surface teams are working collaboratively to bring aspects of Surface technology to the Windows PC experience. We’ve been sharing technical insights, best practices, and user interface knowledge to ensure that the experience of using natural gestures and touch is great whether on a Surface computer or Windows PC.This is all part of the great work that Microsoft is doing to change the way users interact with technology.

As we’ve shared since day one…there’s a ton of goodness in Surface and the ability to leverage that learning across the company within different products and groups is a key benefit our team brings to the Microsoft table.

 

Check this out for a quick demo of what you can expect to see in the future.

 

Cheers,

K

  Interesting to see elements of the Microsoft surface project brought back into the windows PC platform. We sure would like to know more about this, what is going to be integrated and what not? It sure could change the whole user experience of using windows as a platform. We wrote earlier about the 'microsoft surface' project and we will keep a close eye on this blog.
