Microsoft Surface Computing Crosses the Pond

 Microsoft Surface Computing Crosses the Pond

Microsoft Surface, the company's first commercial example of surface computing, has “crossed the pond” and is available in no less than 12 markets over the Atlantic. The Redmond company announced at CeBIT 2009 that Surface would be made available in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) regions.

Now the tabletop computer will be made available in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Qatar, Spain, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates and the U.K.

Vision Objects and Stantum enhance user experience with a unique solution, Media Syndicate

Stantum’s technology can be used by all mobile electronic devices, from the PDA and smartphone through to MP3 players, as long as they use resistive multi-touch sensors. This exciting new technology is able to detect several finger movements simultaneously and contains a series of applications that let you maneuver several objects on the screen at the same time.
In association with this technology, Vision Objects integrates MyScript, its handwriting recognition solution. Backed up by a simple, intuitive user interface, users can write a message effortlessly with either their fingertips or a stylus and see their text instantly transcribed into digital text with excellent accuracy.
MyScript not only recognizes all handwriting styles but also intuitive gestures which allow users to write naturally, to insert spaces and line breaks, and to easily correct text by editing gestures (from simple backspace gestures to natural scratch outs).
