Microsoft 'Surface 2' Details, Um, Surface

Microsoft's Surface project was always about looking into the future. With that in mind, it's perhaps fitting that, before the company has really managed to the first generation of the device, it's already looking down the road at a followup. Phenomblue, a company that writes apps for the innovative desktop computer, said that company is in the development stages of the new device, which looks to be about two years off.

The Surface 2 is currently being referred to as Second Light, due to a second projector inside the unit that will project images above the screen's surface, creating an overlay of images. The feature is designed to add secondary information to images like maps.

The new version of the device, according to the BBC, is also expected to let users interact without even having to touch the screen. It will also feature new high-definition cameras.
