Microsoft has always differed from others in its desire to be ahead of rivals in everything. It is this corporation that boasts the latest devices that the world has not seen before.
The company has been showing interest in giant screens of tablets and other gadgets for quite some time. For example, its Surface tablets in 2007 acted as pioneers in the 2 in 1 hybrids market segment. These devices have enormous potential and have no analogues in the gadget market.
More recently, Microsoft has received a patent for a device that combines the functions of a projector and a personal computer. This combination allows you to turn the most ordinary table into the most interactive surface.
The control of such a device can be done using user gestures. The patent documentation deals with a computer and a projector, combined together and equipped with a set of indicators. These indicators can be located on a large surface of the table, thus turning it into a large-scale sensor device.
The main distinguishing feature of the innovation is that here the expensive display is replaced by a special projection system. The special module used for this is needed to form an image on the selected surface. In this case, it is a table. At the same time, the built-in sensors (cameras, sensors, accelerometers, etc.) will track the user's movements and respond to them accordingly to the set parameters. Most likely the system will work under control of the Windows 10 operating system.

There is speculation that this device may see the light in the near future. However, as often happens in such cases, you can only guess. It seems that the work is quite active. This is indicated by the frequent mention of the fact that the patent is already being implemented, and the novelty will not take long.
It is believed that this development will be used mainly in the field of education. Most likely it will be schools and universities. Of course, in the future, such tables will have a wider distribution subject to successful application in everyday life.
