We dropped in at Microsoft Research (MSR) to get a look at the potential for today’s technologies long before they ever evolve into products. Andy Wilson’s Play Anywhere prototype uses a clever combination of a projector, a camera, and a computer to develop what is probably the most intuitive human interface for digital information yet (Minority Report anyone?). Andy showed us the Coffee Compass, which could certainly become a popular in-car hack.

I want this. Seriously I encourage any company that works towards a Minority Report-esque interface.

OLD! Just kidding, but it is old for me . Bill Gates came and visited my campus last October, giving a speech to a limited amount of Computer Science students, and one of his guys showed this off. It was (and is still) pretty cool.

Here's a link to the research article at MS: http://research.microsoft.com/%7Eawilson/p...UIST%202005.pdf
