PDC 2008: Day 3

Today’s keynote focused entirely on Microsoft Research. The keynote was led by Rick Rashid who led this group for the last 17 years since it was created. There were very interesting demos of different projects they work on and prototypes that are currently in development. For example: The World Wide Telescope new version, the work they are doing to help researchers fight the HIV virus and detect virus mutations, an intuitive application, called Boku, that allows kids develop games without knowing anything about code writing. The best part was SecondLight. This is the next generation of the Surface. It uses an incredible technique to project through the surface onto other surfaces above.
