'''Surface computing''' is the use of a specialized [[computer]] [[GUI]] in which traditional GUI elements are replaced by intuitive, everyday objects. Instead of a [[Computer keyboard|keyboard]] and [[Mouse (computing)|mouse]], the user interacts with a surface. Typically the surface is a [[touchscreen|touch-sensitive screen]], though other surface types like non-flat three-dimensional objects have been implemented as well. It has been said that this more closely replicates the familiar hands-on experience of everyday object manipulation.{{Cite web |title=What is the Microsoft Surface? - What the Microsoft Surface computer is, and how it works. |url=https://what-is-what.com/what_is/microsoft_surface.html |access-date=2022-09-22 |website=what-is-what.com}}{{Cite web |last=Zibreg |first=Christian |date=2008-05-07 |title=Teenager Creates First OS X Multi-touch Table |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/news/apple-multitouch-laptop,5309.html |access-date=2022-09-22 |website=Tom's Hardware |language=en}} |
