Microsoft Surface Studio has recently been unveiled, suggesting that the giant tech company is moving ahead in terms of innovation. Given all the features, this new piece of design is reported to have what it takes to attract a number of tech fans.
The new Microsoft Studio comes in a custom-built 28-inch 4500 x 3000 unit screen, with a display size of 12.5mm. The screen is reportedly heavy, weighing about 6.1kg, and folding the screen from a normal upright position, down to a 20-degree angle for studio mode can be done without much effort.
The weight of the screen is almost perfectly balanced with the help of the springs within the hinges that allows its movement between two positions even with a finger. The company refers to it as the "Zero Gravity" hinge.
Microsoft Surface Studio also features the Surface Dial, a Bluetooth spinner that can increase system functionality or the app features. In addition, there is also an API to enable third-party software to give Dial-specific capabilities that can be used in studio mode or off the screen. If used on the screen, the Surface Studio will know precisely the location of the dial and draw the radial menu or some other controls in the device.
The Surface Studio is a highly specialized system created for artists and likewise creative types. The ability to change from a regular computer to a drafting table is not just a gimmick; it is a desirable and significant feature, ARSTechnica reported.
Meanwhile, Microsoft also released a new batch of tools to create art in 3D form, as the company envisions its customers looking at it with the use of Hololens, or a VR headset. This is due to the fact that the tech giant has kept its promise to make the devices universal. In line with this, the company has reportedly been working with Dell, ASUS, Lenovo, HP and Acer to deliver the new VR headsets that will be available for $300.
Based on that, Microsoft is seen as trying to move the limits of what computing seems like through the company's effort to modify the way how people interact with desktop services and by creating tools to make people become more interested in the virtual world, Technology Review reported.
