Microsoft's Surface team released a new video touting their second-generation tablet and teamed with a scientist to promote the device.
Surface uploaded a new video on their YouTube account featuring Microsoft's Applied Sciences Group's Director of Research Stevie Bathiche, co-inventor of the Surface tablet.

The new Surface video, a little over 3 minutes in length, Bathiche took the time to discuss the Surface tablet's color rendering accuracy on the display and more.
"The role of a screen's job is to basically render colors as perfectly as possible. That's its the No. 1 and most important job," said Bathiche. "When you do that, colors will look vibrant, they'll look great, they'll look accurate."
The accuracy of the colors was a major focus for Bathiche, noting the colors are at least 46 percent more improved compared to other tablets in the market.
According to Bathiche, he's most proud of the Surface's product, hardware, and software services coming together.
"The whole package is awesome," he added.
Bathiche joined Microsoft's applied research team in 1999 and has invented products for the Redmond-based organization such as the SideWinder Freestyle Pro game pad, which is the first gaming device to utilize accelerometers.
