John, Re: "Today, at its Future Forum event in Redmond, the company revealed examples of the advanced projects underway at Microsoft Research. These explore fundamental boundaries in a variety of technology areas and include a Sensing Pocket PC that alters handheld device applications based on sensors that detect touch, tilt and motion; Chinese text-to-speech software that could improve productivity for Asian users; 3-D art reconstruction software that builds 3-D models from Renaissance paintings or other images; SideShow, a workgroup-communications tool that utilizes desktop cameras to determine a user's status and creates an enhanced version of a task bar and buddy list; and face-mapping software that quickly scans a person's face using a simple desktop camera and constructs a 3-D model for uses such as personal communications, e-commerce sites or games." Thanks for the article. Could one of these technologies possibly be the next "killer app"? Let's hope these at least drive demand for faster PCs. wanna_bmw
