Star Microsoft Shows Off Another 'Minority Report' UI Concept
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Sat 7th Nov 2009 00:24 UTC
Microsoft Whether you like Microsoft or not, the Redmond giant does have one thing going for it: the company's research division. Working together with several universities and other institutions, Microsoft Research works on the soft and hardware of the future, ranging from research operating systems to insanely cool things like what Microsoft's chief research and strategy officer Craig Mundie showed off during the Microsoft College Tour '09 (more videos).

If half the marketing budget of MS in the last 10 years was spend on actual research, we'd laugh about 'minority report' interfaces by now.


I laugh about those interfaces now. They don't work, as you need to move your arms up and down, and that stresses too much to do it all day for 8 hours or more. Surely they are pretty, but not practical for work. For home use and multimedia they would work better.
