10. MICROSOFT SURFACE COMPUTING Cameras in the machine's housing record reflections of infrared light from human fingertips. Camera can also recognize objects if they have specially designed tags that identify them
11. MICROSOFT SURFACE COMPUTING The computer's "vision" is created by a near-infrared, 850-nanometer-wavelength LED light source aimed at the surface. When an object touches the tabletop, the light is reflected to multiple infrared cameras with a net resolution of 1280 x 960, allowing it to sense, and react to items touching the tabletop.
