Estimated Reading Time: 1 min

Microsoft and Samsung have unveiled the new Surface 2.0 platform. While it is still aimed at businesses and kiosk use, it still is a great way to showcase new technology. Of course, it lost some of its luster with the release of the Kinect.

“Microsoft continues to innovate in vision-based interaction and software designed for touch. With the introduction of the next generation of Surface, using PixelSense technology, we’ll bring more tables and walls to life with amazing natural experiences for people to enjoy together,” said Panos Panay, general manager, Microsoft Surface. “We partnered with Samsung because of its strengths in LCD technology, hardware design and manufacturing, and worldwide marketing and sales of large-format displays. The companies have built an incredibly successful collaboration that moved from invention to development to manufacturing and sales of a high-quality, industrialized commercial product.”
