\"CADIf you thought CAD on a tablet<\/A> was exciting, just wait till you see the new Microsoft Surface Hub. Microsoft unveiled the 84-inch (213 cm) 4K display computer earlier this month at the Windows 10 Update, and you may recognize the app Senior Director Hayete Gallot uses in the demo as one from Siemens PLM. <\/P><\/p>\n

She uses a 3D model exploded view<\/A> to show how the Surface Hub facilitates collaboration with the ability to share content right on the same screen, capture images, annotate, and all while on video chat with the built-in Skype.<\/P><\/p>\n

While the app she demos is for Solid Edge<\/A>, the Surface Hub is the perfect device for the new touch screen interface available in NX CAD 10<\/A> if you ask me. The Hub\u2019s large display gives you the clarity and detail you desire when you design a product and the device supports 100 points of touch, making it easy for your team to work on the same design at one time.<\/P><\/p>\n

\"CADI see this as a step in the direction CAD is headed. We manipulate the world with our hands, so why not interact with and use technology in the same way? It only makes sense that as technology changes, so too will the processes associated with it, and frankly, I\u2019m excited to see what\u2019s to come in the future.<\/P><\/p>\n

So what about you? How do you feel about the latest innovations with touch screen CAD? Is this something you\u2019re excited to use, or couldn\u2019t care less about? Let me know in the comments below!<\/P><\/p>\n
