BIBLIOGRAPHY INTRODUCTION: Picture a surface that can recognize physical objects from a paintbrush to a cell phone and allows hands-on, direct control of content such as photos, music and maps. Surface turns an ordinary tabletop into a vibrant, dynamic surface that provides effortless interaction with all forms of digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects. Consumers will be able to interact with Surface in hotels, retail establishments, restaurants and public entertainment venues etc. The intuitive user interface works without a traditional mouse or keyboard, allowing people to interact with content and information on their own or collaboratively with their friends and families, just like in the real world. From digital finger painting to a virtual T interaction to the digital world in a new and exciting way. WHAT IS SURFACE COMPUTING? Surface computing is a new way of working with computers that moves beyond the traditional mouse-and-keyboard experience. It is a natural user interface that allows people to interact with digital content the same way they have interacted with
In 2003 ARToolKit to the PocketPC was developed, the first fully self-contained PDA AR application. This platform was used in a peer to peer game. Möhring et al. were the first to successfully target a consumer smartphone for mobile AR. The scarce processing power of the target platform allowed only a very coarse estimation of the object's pose on the screen.
