Microsoft "Working with Microsoft and director Mason Nicoll (former creative director at Digital Kitchen and Prologue), Seattle-based studio Oh, Hello brought this vision of a highly-gadgetized future to life with some slick roto, loads of tracking and, of course, silky smooth futurific animation. If this video is any indicator, the future will fuse together interactive and motion design in ways that this project only begins to imagine. Regardless of whether Microsoft is behind it, those who understand the rich nuances of time-based experienced will be well-positioned to succeed. Nathan Barr of Oh, Hello was kind enough to answer some of the more pragmatic questions I had about the project."

Apple already has the patent on Multitouch! lol

Seriously though, interesting video. I don't know that the UI's shown would really facilitate an increase in productivity, but it sure looks neat.

Anyone else find it funny that this video describing MS's idea of the future is encoded in a MOV file?

Quicktime is so glassy-smooth-excellent, even on my 6-year-old-singlecore.
