Original Surface Prototypes

multitouch before iPhone

I spent some time at Microsoft working on the as-yet-unannounced Microsoft Surface touch table product. I was in the Surface design studio and, without an official SDK, developed a number of high-polish proof-of-concept apps envisioning retail and restaurant scenarios. These were presented by Bill Gates on the Today Show and by Steve Ballmer at the D5 conference in 2007.

My contribution: I architected and implemented several applications using internal SDKs.

Client: Microsoft

Technologies: Flash, ActionScript
