Page 2 of 2 Microsoft Surface provides a 30in multi-touch display mounted as a tabletop. This allows several people to use the system together, with multiple touches and gestures being simultaneously recognised. The idea is that users have the illusion of interacting directly with the objects shown on the screen, without needed a mouse or keyboard as an intermediary. Surface can also recognise objects placed on the screen if they are fitted with identification tags. The system is aimed at the retail, hospitality and entertainment markets. "People continue to be excited about the endless possibilities of Surface technology and how it can transform everyday scenarios, including the social and entertainment space," said Pete Thompson, general manager for Microsoft Surface. "With this latest deployment of Surface, we’re now bringing some of those possibilities to life and showcasing the breadth of opportunities Microsoft Surface provides to innovative businesses like Harrah's."
