In the future, "you" and nice!

Excerpt from 2009 6 issues of digital business era ": Xu Feng-Ting

To enter text pointing to the air?, computer school understand your cursive!

to transfer files? finger point live on the computer screen, with a slight swing, the files will be "lost" to the opposite another computer! in the supermarket clerk asks not found? put your goods in the hand or merchandise to your shopping car, it will tell you ...

Perhaps, the future of computer technology can help us do much more than that.

February 2009, journalists had the privilege to access Microsoft United States headquarters, visit Microsoft's annual basis research results "technology section", ten years after the "House of the future" and just opened in January of this year's "retail experience Center".

Journalists in the past few days in haste, not only a glimpse of the future of computer-related (where journalists have eyes, and trying not to let the Chin down), while also trying to spy on the Microsoft software from the "giant" changed to "experience the future of giants", and more.

Technical section: research and bridging the gap between products

— — Innovation thanks to the "accumulation" and "cross-border"

On 24 February.

Redmond. Rain sunny.

"Li fang ren — — (person – introduce — party) ...

This project really mean? what's the use? "from Israel of a reporter and, at the same time, according to the letters spell the name of the project, a question. Standing next to the Project Director, Microsoft Research Asia fellow NIE then Ching smile and let him in the search box, enter your own name, the reporter has an immediately visible to themselves as "Center" of the diagram.

Let him most surprised that, in his "relationship ring" actually "Barak Obama" typeface · — in fact, not lo

ng ago he had just interviewed the newly appointed President of the United States.

"We are going to participate in the ' technical section ' as a test, test your English world on ' human cubic ' idea.

" NIE then clearly tell interview, English users reflect on this," and the user experience consistent. "

Last August, the "people" search for a cube in China officially released.

This is a new social search engine, it will be able to more than 10 million Chinese Web pages to automatically extract names, place names, institution name, and the Chinese phrases, and search keywords and their associated names between the relational and weak, automatic calculation of each person's name and keyword direct distance, data size, and specific placement, etc., and by an indication of a relationship of thin lines connecting them, indicates that the relationship between socialization.

NIE and then clear the "cubic" the biggest challenge was how to improve the accuracy of data mining, and scale.

As regards the practical application of the project in the future, but not his concern — Microsoft, basic researchers and do not need to worry too much about whether the results into products. Microsoft Senior Vice President Rick · rest told reporters, as long as researchers interested closely involved in product development, product group generally agreed to do so. "At Microsoft, technology transfer rules is not dull. ”

Microsoft Cambridge Research Institute researcher demonstrates new touch computer technology SecondLight

Started in 2001 by Microsoft technology section, known as the "research and production of bridge" between each of the six from Microsoft Global Research Institute brought together hundreds of researchers, Microsoft headquarters, two days, and colleagues share their 150 new study results.

These results include both the Institute of internal innovation, includingcooperation with the global academic community open research project. This year, from Microsoft Research Asia's nearly 40 new research results, online services, entertainment and user experience research breakthroughs in areas such as the Microsoft future multiple transformation provides significant technical support.

In this section of the "technology", another project from China also attracts the viewer's eye.

This is called "air wrote" project--hands to paint in the air to enter in writing. In the future, if the technology to improve and promote, keyboard and mouse it all can be saved into the Museum.

Be more amazed that this project from the project to the results, just spent less than half a year.

The Project Director, Microsoft Research Asia researchers hope to such innovation thanks to the "accumulation" and "cross-border".

It is reported that the "air hand" there are two main technologies: handwriting recognition and trajectory to capture, but these two technologies are not a new thing, just past no one thinks it will be a combination of both.

September 2008, researchers presented this proposal malei, immediate members of their community.

"This is a time to give someone a very pleasant innovation," Joel on strong told reporters that the original intention of this project is to proceed from the user's needs, "let the wives and the children were playing Xbox is also easier to enter the selection.

”

Innovation is not necessarily earth-shaking from side original technical equipment, the same can bring surprising results.
