In a previous post, Object Recognition leads the way for Microsoft Surface, I touched on how Microsoft Surface recognizes devices placed on top of it.  Microsoft Surface reads a small square 8-bit tag that is attached to an object so that users can interact with it.  The tag is a combination of dots that works like a barcode.
