Hi,
Im currently building a multitouch table for my A2 major project for product design, this will also feature in a history exhibition in my local village. Does anyone on the forum have access to the microsoft surface who could take some photos for me of the inside (not sure if that is possible, do not know if one of the sides will actually come off or not) and outside and state where the photo was taken as I need some good ones for my product research.
Thanks! smile

Thanks for such a speedy responce and the link! They will be useful as different ways of touch sensing.
Just need an actual photo of the inside instead of a drawing now.

It’s designed so removing the panels will reveal the things that admins may need access to (USB ports, audio ports, VGA port, projector bulb, etc) while housing the sensitive components deeper inside.  A quick Bing search turned up this picture which shows what I mean: http://technet.idnes.cz/vyzkouseli-jsme-digitalni-stul-od-microsoftu-ovlada-se-prsty-i-dlani-12z-/foto.asp?foto1=VSE2a28e6_surface_open.jpg

I think those are fastening for inlay acrylic.

Do you need Multitouch framework for WPF that works with any device? Visit http://multitouchvista.codeplex.com/.  It also includes multitouch driver for Windows 7.

I really wish someone would do a tear down of the MS surface! But these pics are a really great start.
