A new Microsoft Surface tabletop computer was placed in the University Grounds Coffee Shop during the summer. It’s an interactive touch-based computer that doesn’t use a keyboard or mouse. It’s a neat device. It allows you to grab digital content with your hands and move objects with simple gestures and touches. It uses cameras and image recognition in the infrared spectrum to recognize different types of objects. The problem is the price tag. It cost the university about $15,000 to buy this one computer.
