how it recognizes glasses, cellphones, credit cards and other objects:

In addition to recognizing fingers, Surface can recognize inanimate objects. Microsoft has developed a 3/4" square tag called a "domino" that can be attached to objects so that Surface can interact with them on the fly. Instead of relying on RFID, the domino tag uses dots to encode its information (hence the name). There is a single dot in the center of the tag, three dots on one side for orientation, and space for eight more dots that are read as data. Essentially, it's a one-byte data tag.

it's system

Surface currently runs on a high-end PC but uses mainly conventional components. It's powered by a Core 2 Duo chip and a "newish video card," and the system runs on 2GB of RAM. Keam declined to give more specifics but said that all of the hardware was consumer tech. It uses a rear projection system for the display which projects the image to the underside of the tabletop. According to Keam, Surface runs on a standard Vista installation with a layer of code on top that is specific to the project; the underlying operating system has not been modified in any way.
