Microsoft Research TechFest 2007

  • Article

I attended Microsoft TechFest 2007 three weeks ago. I have seen very cool researches going on, and I almost experienced everything myself.

One of the interesting researches that I played with was "Surface-Computing Innovations". Surface computing uses sensing and display technology to imbue everyday surfaces with interaction. PlayAnywhere is a compact surface-computing system shown at TechFest.

The first demo in the video shows a car game, where cars are driven in an environment built using real-time terrain generation with XNA through the use of a depth-sensing video camera and real world objects. To make it easier and shorter for every one to understand, it's just AMAZING!!
