Abstract

A support surface includes a table top, moving portions, base portions, and sensors. The moving portions are configured to move the table top in multiple degrees of freedom. Each moving portion is configured to move the table top in a degree of freedom and prevent movement of the table top in other degrees of freedom. The base portions are coupled to the moving portions and are configured to support the moving portions. The sensors are configured to receive a user input and communicate the user input to the moving portions so that the moving portions move the table top based upon the user input.
