Microsoft Surface in a Yacht

Posted on 17. Feb, 2009 by Rich Lazzara in Lazzara Yachts

Lazzara Surface

 Lazzara Yachts and Microsoft along with software development company Infusion became the first to launch the Microsoft Surface technology into the yachting industry.  This technology will change so many aspects of how our owners will be able to interact with the Lazzara Brand and product.  For the first phase of the launch we are using Surface technology in our retail Showcase.  It allows prospects to view pictures, videos, specifications and even personalize a yacht interior all using your hands to manipulate and interface with the device.  Phase two will bring the Surface technology into the yacht itself.  With the Surface technology on the yacht owners will be able to research the various ports of call they are traveling to and find out about activities, events, restaurants, services in those locations.  In addition it will also be used to display the owners manual, family pictures, control on board audio system and link to other Surface devices.  With the launch of a Lazzara Yacht Club Social Network this year owners will be able to link to each other and network and share information around their yachting lifestyle.
