Microsoft Surface - The Possibilities http://www.microsoft.com/surface/ What is Microsoft Surface? Microsoft Surface™, the first commercially available surface computer from Microsoft Corp., turns an ordinary tabletop into a vibrant, interactive surface. The product provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects. Surface is a 30-inch display in a table-like form factor that's easy for individuals or small groups to interact with in a way that feels familiar, just like in the real world. In essence, it's a surface that comes to life for exploring, learning, sharing, creating, buying and much more. Soon to be available in restaurants, hotels, retail establishments and public entertainment venues, this experience will transform the way people shop, dine, entertain and live. How does Surface work? At a high level, Surface uses cameras to sense objects, hand gestures and touch. This user input is then processed and the result is displayed on the surface using rear projection. What is surface computing? Surface computing is a new way of working with computers that moves beyond the traditional mouse-and-keyboard experience. It is a natural user interface that allows people to interact with digital content the same way they have interacted with everyday items such as photos, paintbrushes and music their entire life: with their hands, with gestures and by putting real-world objects on the surface. Surface computing opens up a whole new category of products for users to interact with. What are the key attributes of surface computing? Surface computing has four key attributes: Direct interaction. Users can actually "grab" digital information with their hands and interact with content by touch and gesture, without the use of a mouse or keyboard. Multi-touch contact. Surface computing recognizes many points of contact simultaneously, not just from one finger, as with a typical touch screen, but up to dozens and dozens of items at once. Multi-user experience. The horizontal form factor makes it easy for several people to gather around surface computers together, providing a collaborative, face-to-face computing experience. Object recognition. Users can place physical objects on the surface to trigger different types of digital responses, including the transfer of digital content.

Acoustic sensors make surfaces interactive A series of acoustic sensors that turn any surface into a touch-sensitive computer interface have been developed by European researchers. Two or more sensors are attached around the edges of the surface. These pinpoint the position of a finger, or another touching object, by tracking minute vibrations. This allows them to create a virtual touchpad, or keyboard, on any table or wall. Tags: touchpad acoustics vibration tracking cool computer touch-sensitve interface |

NBC Solid Surfaces Earns First MIA Accreditation NBC Solid Surfaces of Springfield, Vermont is the first company to earn the Accredited Natural Stone Fabricator designation under the Marble Institute of America's long-awaited accreditation program. "After two and a half years of planning and hard work by a number of industry leaders and the MIA staff, we are very pleased to announce our first fully accredited company, NBC Solid Surfaces. This is a milestone event for both our association and the industry as a whole," said Gary Distelhorst, CAE, executive vice president of the Marble Institute of America. "Within the next several years we expect to accredit hundreds of companies. In fact, more than 100 firms have already requested applications and more are coming in every week." NBC Solid Surfaces, which originally started as a home builder in 1984, completed the accreditation process by successfully passing a facility inspection, as well as inspection of several completed projects in the Springfield area. The site inspection is the final steps of the three phase accreditation process. NBC Solid Surfaces and its owner, Don Hinckley, completed the first two phases, which consisted of filling out a detailed application and passing a 200 question examination that covers all facets of the stone fabrication and installation business. "We congratulate NBC Solid Surfaces on this singular achievement," said Distelhorst." "I couldn't be more excited," said Hinckley. "It's a long process and I am proud that we are the first to achieve accreditation. Vermont has a rich stone heritage and its nice to see a Vermont company on the cutting edge." Hinckley said his firm hopes to take advantage of accreditation in its future promotional. "It's going to help differentiate us in the marketplace," he said. "It will show our customers that we are a leader in the industry and that we are committed to the quality of the product." Originally called Northeast Building Corporation, the company left the home building business in 1995, when it changed its name to NBC Solid Surfaces. The company markets natural stone and other surface materials on a wholesale basis to kitchen and bath dealers and commercial users throughout New England.

Texture Advection on Stream Surfaces Stream surfaces are a classic flow visualization technique used to portray the characteristics of vector fields, and texture advection research has made rapid advances in recent years. We present a novel hybrid visualization of texture advection on stream surfaces. This approach conveys properties of the vector field that stream surfaces alone cannot. We apply the visualization technique to various patterns of flow from CFD data important to automotive engine simulation including two patterns of in-cylinder flow (swirl and tumble motion) as well as flow through a cooling jacket. In addition, we explore multiple vector fields defined at the stream surface such as flow, vorticity, and pressure gradient. The results of our investigation highlight both the strengths and limitations of the hybrid stream surface-texture advection visualization technique and offer new insight to engineers exploring and analyzing their simulations.
