RoomAlive: The second generation of IllumiRoom, now the entire room is an interactive space.

SurroundWeb: Similar to IllumiRoom, it can project images on the walls and surfaces of any room.

OmniTouch: (Video) uses a depth sensor to capture the user's operations, and cooperates with laser projection to project the graphical interface on the surface of the object, thus turning any surface into a "touchable" interface, even supporting multi-touch and various gestures

operate.

MonoFusion captures 3D depth images through ordinary mobile phone or tablet cameras, such as realizing gesture functions on mobile phones. Microsoft also has similar Depth4Free technology.

Beamatron's technology for rendering projected images on different surfaces (used by IllumiRoom).

Suspended image display: Displaying images in air media can be used for non-contact gesture interaction interfaces. Suspended objects can also produce shadows on the original surface (similar to holographic projection).

Digits is a 3D space interactive technology worn on the wrist.

Kinect sign language interpreter.

Long-distance virtual hugs: Communicating over long distances by bringing physical interaction.

The physical feedback here is not just vibration or simple physics, Microsoft said there will also be "friction, touch, electrical feedback, electrical stimulation, three-dimensional feedback, vibration, jitter, physical resistance, temperature changes, movement, noise, pressure, surface materials,

Touch copy, etc., or a combination of multiple items."

Closer to us: Cortana Cortana relies heavily on the services and data of the Bing information platform, as well as the technical research of Microsoft Research. The above tasks are completed by a series of different technology combinations.

Cortana's design concept is based on "the most advanced machine learning and data mining algorithms". Natural language processing, semantic analysis, speech technology, Bing Satori knowledge base and self-learning system are all core technologies.

Please read this article to learn more about Cortana technology.

Microsoft’s vision is to expand Cortana to more platforms, more fields of information, and more ways of human-computer interaction – in addition to existing voice and text, there are also gestures, somatosensory, etc.

By the way, Microsoft Research’s Project Adam already allows Cortana to identify the type of dog.

Skype TranslatorSkype Translator will be available in technology preview before the end of this year.

It is jointly developed by Skype and Microsoft machine translation teams and integrates Microsoft Skype voice and chat technology, machine translation technology, and neural network speech recognition.

In fact, in 2010, prototypes of related technologies were already displayed internally.
