Questions tagged [pixelsense]

Microsoft PixelSense is a large-touchscreen computer platform released by Microsoft in 2008. Applications for PixelSense are developed in .NET using either WPF or XNA for the graphical interfaces.

PixelSense is a hardware and software specification for computers with large table or wall-mounted touchscreen interfaces.

PixelSense development is done using .NET and a special purpose SDK that contains controls and classes to make use of the hardware. Custom controls include SurfaceButton and SurfaceListBox that understands multitouch interaction.

Before 2012, PixelSense technology was branded "Surface", and many programming APIs still use the old terminology. The Microsoft Surface multitouch tablets are based on the unrelated Windows RT technology and, as of 2012, PixelSense hardware cannot run Windows RT apps, nor can the Surface tablets run PixelSense apps. For questions related to Surface tablets, use the tag .
