Next step of Microsoft- 3D desktops,Virtual workplace etc..

                                    Apart from the regular OS and system softwares from Microsoft,they have started to entertain the mass with the X box,MS Surface and phones. Now the Microsoft research has released three demo video of the mind blowing technologies that they are working on. These technologies were not new to the ones who have seen Ironman and Avatar. They are working on these project for years and the project includes 3D desktop, the Illumishare remote sharing system and the Holoflector augmented reality mirror.


Video of  behind the Screen Overlay Interactions:




Kinect 3D desktop:




                      It includes a transparent display and the display is upward folding screen behind to place a keyboard when the screen is folded, easy for people to hand the keyboard on the screen behind the operation. According to reports, articles and graphics on the screen are displayed in a virtual three-dimensional form, the people behind the screen to the actual manipulation.In addition, the system can track the eye movement, so that the 3D objects appear on the screen.


IllumiShare:



                          It is a virtual workspace looks like a simple table lamp.In fact, it includes a camera and a projector by which you can also capture images and projection video and the system can also be physical and projection to distinguish. Overall, IllumiShare is a more convenient system works for people remote to work together.


Holoflector system:




                         The system has a transparent mirror with an LCD screen behind the mirror is placed so that people can see their image, you can also see the three-dimensional virtual mirror behind the LCD screen elements. It also works for multiple users, just like Kinect for Xbox 360 allows. According to reports, the system Kinect sensors and motion capture capabilities to virtual reality elements and physical reality, and then on the mirror to produce a mixture of visual effects. In future sticking one of these systems in a mall,we can have people interacting with an advert.


All the above technologies are good to see and hear but getting implemented in games, education, and business may take years.
