PixelSense can also run Windows8

  



Windows 8 UI is deeply optimized for touch, which is very suitable for running with built-in touch screen devices, so different forms of Windows 8 native touch devices are on the shelves. Including Microsoft's own brand of Surface series tablets, and even the 82-inch large Windows 8 tablet Perceptive Pixel at Microsoft CEO Steve · Ballmer's office.
A few days ago, a Samsung tablet computer that was renamed PixelSense, the ancestor of Surface, once again evoked memories of the Microsoft-led touch computing concept in the past full-keyboard era.
The first generation of PixelSense was originally called Surface. It was released at the D5 conference in May 2007. The body size is 108 x 68.6 x 53.3 cm, weighs about 90 kg, the screen size is 30 inches, and the resolution is 1024 & times; With Intel Core 2 processor (dual-core, clocked at 2.13GHz), 2GB of RAM, 160GB hard drive, ATI Radeon X1650 graphics card, such a huge thing was expensive at the time. Subsequent Surface 2.0 has undergone significant improvements in the technology of the previous generation. The body size is 108.5 x 69.9 x 10.2 cm, relatively lighter, the screen is extended to 40 inches, the processor uses AMD Athlon II X2, with 4GB DDR3 memory, 320GB hard drive, 40-inch widescreen (1920 x 1080), using Windows 7 64-bit operating system. More importantly, the device canceled a lot of useless camera arrays and replaced the screen with a new LCD video. At the same time, at the time, Surface was not the capacitive touch technology widely used nowadays. Instead, there was a circle of infrared cameras and ordinary cameras inside the tablet computer, which was responsible for monitoring objects close to the desktop (finger head), and using a projector to screen the screen. Cast to the bottom of the glass to achieve touch operation in disguise.
Although the bloated device configuration is no longer high-end, it was expensive at the time, and ordinary consumers would not consider such products. But because of such superior equipment, it would be a pity if it was not used in the Windows 8 era, so users will have the idea of ​​running Windows 8 on this device. Although less than the 82-inch Perceptive Pixel high-end, but at least let the 40-inch Surface 2.0 antiques play a surviving heat. Although the device is not using mainstream touch technology, it still supports 52 touch.
An overview of the sentence, that is, “ there is no problem that can't be solved, only the method that can't be imagined. ”
