How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
This session introduces the newly available Microsoft Surface SDK. Hear about the unique attributes of Microsoft Surface computing, dive into vision-based object recognition and core controls like ScatterView, and learn how the Surface SDK aligns with
the multi-touch developer roadmap for Windows 7 and WPF. Additionally, learn how you can become a part of the expanding partner ecosystem for Microsoft Surface and leverage your existing investments in WPF and Visual Studio to build engaging end user applications.
Attendees of this session will receive access to the Microsoft Surface SDK.

nesher,
Is this an official comment from Microsoft?
Is the MultiTouchVista SDK project the same as Microsoft Surface SDK?
Can someone tell me where we can get a hold of the Sruface SDK. We were told we'd get it at the PDC this year...
Hey acuis - MultiTouchVista is not affiliated with Microsoft or Surface
The Surface SDK is being given to those who either attended our session or complete one of our 3 hands on labs (which will be open tomorrow). Also, if you were to order a developer Surface (order forms are now on surface.com), each one comes with 5 SDK licenses.
Please come by our booth in the Big Room tomorrow if you've got any more questions or want to chat!
No, MultiTouchVista SDK is not Surface SDK. Sorry if I made you think so.
What I wanted to say is that MultiTouchVista is a class library that will allow you to develop multitouch application. It has API like Surface API.
-rlevy, great session!!! I wish I could be there. Sadly you didn't showed how to use Vision system. Is it possible to develop custom tags?
For tags in particular though, the 2 types we provide out of the box (8-bit and 128-bit) are sufficient for most needs.
What is the regex used in the video to replace the instances of the standard WPF controls to the Surface equivalents? That was really slick.
Thanks,
Alan
Can I ask why are there 5 cameras and not 4? Because it is simple to divide rectangle in 4 parts, but not 5. Is there any special purpose for 5th camera? Or they are all equal?
{[</]}{(Window|Button|ScrollViewer|ListBox)[> ]}
\1s:Surface\2
1. Find all important control instances (excludes app-defined styles): {[</]}{(Window|Button|ScrollViewer|ListBox)[> ]}
2. Replace with Surface version: \1s:Surface\2
im a lil confused... i definitely cant afford a surface.. so i was using the simulator.. with mouse.. how come it doesnt behave like its real life counterpart? i thought the pictures would slide across the "surface" like it did in this video... can someone redirect me to a place where i can figure this out? even here is cool if its ok with the head people...
