Surface Neo: Microsoft’s first folding tablet

At the beginning of last October, the American manufacturer surprised us with the Microsoft Surface Neo , the first folding screen tablet of the giant based in Redmond. We are not talking about a model like the Samsung Galaxy Fold, but about a ZTE Axon M style double screen system. And now, we know new details about your camera.

Yes, after presenting its new generation of Surface computers, Microsoft left us with an open mouth through its ” one more thing “. Nothing more and nothing less than removing a tablet and a phone with folding screen . Two devices that gave very little information, although in the different videos they showed, they left us wanting more.

It is expected that these new Surface Neo and Surface Duo reach the market throughout the last quarter of 2020. But, while we are discovering new details about these two devices that point way to be the next Christmas bombing. And eye, it seems that your photographic section will be surprising.

The Surface Neo camera will be multispectral

Already, during the presentation of the new tablet with folding screen, in addition to the Surface Duo phone, the firm based in Redmond confirmed that its cameras will be world class. And, it seems that Microsoft’s latest patent makes it clear that the manufacturer did not exaggerate.

, more than anything because they have just registered a patent with WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization), of a system of “object recognition using depth and multiple spectral cameras”. A tool that can give a new leap of quality to the popular Emojis.

More than anything, because this system would be able to recognize 2D characteristics of any object, in addition to the part in three dimensions. In this way, when photographing a face, you would recognize not only the shape of the face, but the eyes, nose or lips.surface-neo

Yes, the next avatars will be very similar to us. More than anything because the camera on the Surface Neo would be able to recognize even the color of the eyes.

In this way, we would have to start with a much more complete facial recognition system, so it could stand up to Apple‘s FaceID. And, on the other hand, the camera of the Surface Neo would serve to create 3D images of our face really achieved.

We must bear in mind that we are facing a patent, so this system may not be included in the new folding tablet of the American giant, but the idea that this new member of the Microsoft Surface family ends up integrating this technology, we found it really interesting.
