The following video explores possible future interfaces either in development or slated for development at Microsoft. Through an elaborate production, several sophisticated devices are introduced and applied to daily circumstance.
I think this video is a compelling presentation both in style and substance; undoubtedly a great pitch product for the interest of investors or users. Short and sweet! I think it is very interesting, especially in the context of the 499 course, that the bulk of the interfaces presented are touch-based. I am not sure I agree with this direction, though it certainly works well in many practical circumstances. This video also presents many interesting ideas on data transfer (capturing it through a view-finder, placing a phone on a table, etc.). Gesture will need to compete with these data transfer conveniences for the notion to stick to the popular market.
