Future

I just saw a stunning video from MS lab of how people will probably live in a near(?) future. Envisioning the future: http://www.officelabs.com/projects/futurevisionmontage/Pages/default.aspx[^] Is it just me or you have the same feeling? I watched it tens of times and I like to watch it again. P.S. I'm not sorry if it's a repost! :-D

What feeling? To me the video is simply an AD for gadgets. Have a look at Microsoft Surface, it might exite you even more since it's already available.

How can we judge your feeling and you judge our feeling?
Sathesh. Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.

Amazed and enjoyed.

I've seen it before. Years before they announce creating Surface we had a similar project in a company that it's idea came to me while thinking about the problem of different languages when ordering food that passengers of an international hotel were facing with. A multilingual stand in each room with a touch screen. That project canceled after four months of research for having not enough money and not finding an investor. When I saw it, it was not new to me.

I'm normally not a fan of ads. At least not most of them. But this one is about user experience and reminds me UIs created with a product: SilverLight. I'd like it when I see the effect of future technology on human life. Maybe I can't express my feeling, but I thought maybe someone else enjoy watching it like I did.

Time to invest in display technology companies I guess. It was cool and all, but I couldn't help but notice that no one actually entered any data into anything. Just a bunch manipulation but no information added. Not so much future, either. My kids' school is equipped with smart boards in most of the classrooms. Not quite as high tech but with similar results. Uses a projection system and some sort of tracking scheme to detect touches and movenments. Also, what is it with the clear screens and drawing boards. They always have them in the war rooms in movies and on shows like Numb3rs and CSI. It looks all spiffy but I can't imagine you would be able to see anything on it in a real world lighting situation. They would never be all crystal clear after the first use. What's the point (besides dramatic camera shots for TV)?

I guess that is the same that make displays showing text to make modem/printer noises meanwhile those texts appear... I work with anthropomorphic robots in a normal basis and I can see how do Hollywood use them and mostly everything is fake or simply stupid... but you know, it is what it makes people to say OOOOOOOh! Well... Hollywood... :rolleyes:

Sounds like a good idea. I wouldn't like to be the one doing the picking though. Every time I think 'wow, that's really cool' the company concerned is never heard of again.

Well. Glass screens was the last thing I saw (after you mentioned actually). What made me so amazed were technologies like what the doctor uses to more accurately look into an eye of a patient or the idea of having multiple keys inside a card, using voice for chatting, updating shop prices digitally or reading a digital newspaper. Everything digital and working better and more effective than how we use them nowadays. Maybe I'm too much interested in digital but this is the reason of programming even when I hardly earn enough money out of it.
