Microsoft Surface is a revolutionary multi-touch computer that responds to natural hand gestures and real-world objects, helping people interact with digital content in a simple and intuitive way. With a large, horizontal user interface, Surface offers a unique gathering place where multiple users can collaboratively and simultaneously interact with data and each other.
We must safeguard our creativity and take our craft seriously, because it can be a genuine agent of change. Rodney Fitch makes a plea for greater awareness of the potential of design to foster innovation and help shape a civil society.
