Remote collaboration, cultural translation, natural user interfaces, multi-touch surfaces, sensor networks, ink recognition, ubiquitous computing, cross-device content sharing, electronic newspapers, electronic boarding cards.


Microsoft has collaborated with partners, customers and leaders in order to “develop scenarios that explore how long-term trends, customer challenges, and emerging technology might converge to improve our lives, both at work and home.” Their goal was to re-imagine productivity by developing new technology solutions, focusing on 3 major areas: natural and intuitive interfaces, seamless and secure connections, contextual and anticipative insights.
