History of Microsoft
Surfaceâ?  Year:2001Stevie
Bathiche of Microsoft and Andy
Wilson of Microsoft Research
began brainstorming concepts
for an interactive table.
Their vision was to mix
physical and virtual worlds to
provide a rich, interactive
experience.â?  Year:2003Early
2003, the New Consumer
Products Group, led by David
Kurlander, presented the idea
to Bill Gates, Microsoft
Chairman, and within the month
the first protoype was born,
based on an IKEA table with a
hole cut through its top and a
sheet of architect vellum as a
diffuser. The evolution of
Microsoft Surface had begun.
As more applications were
built, the team saw the value
of the surface computer beyond
simply gaming and began to
favor those applications that
took advantage of the unique
ability of Surface to
recognize physical objects
placed on the table.â? 
Year:2004The team grew and
became the Surface Computing
group. Surface prototypes,
functionality and applications
were continuously refined. The
team built more than 85 early
prototypes for use by software
developers, hardware
developers and user
researchers.â?  Year:2005By
late 2004, the Microsoft
Surface software development
platform was established and
attention turned to its form.
A number of different
experimental prototypes were
built including the 'tub'
model that was encased in a
rounded plastic shell, a
desk-height model with a
square top and cloth-covered
sides, and even a bar-height
model. After extensive testing
and user research, the current
look and feel of Surface was
finalized in 2005.â? 
Year:2007Today, Microsoft
Surface is a 30-inch diagonal
display table that's easy for
individuals or small groups to
use collaboratively. With a
sleek, translucent surface,
people engage with Surface
using natural hand gestures,
touch and physical objects
placed on the
