Microsoft
might’ve missed
the boat when it comes to Tablets, but it might just have an ace up
its sleeves. Check out Joshua Topolsky
of The Verge touring Microsoft’s Edison Lab, where a team of really smart
people are building a magic wall:
Stevie Bathiche, director of research at Microsoft’s applied sciences
lab, says to “imagine a day where in your home, one wall is dedicated
to being your magic wall. A wall where it can teleport you to another
world without really going anywhere.” Bathiche shows off a number
of systems that aim to accomplish this vision, including a system that
projects LED light to detect a human being’s movements in space, and
a glasses-free stereoscopic display that can be “steered”
by the viewer as they move.
