Browse the Sky with WorldWide Telescope from Microsoft Research
2008-05-13 07:43:00 Want to try out for yourself what made Robert Scoble cry? Tonight, Microsoft Research has made available the Spring Beta of WorldWide Telescope. Download: WorldWide Telescope Spring Release WorldWide Telescope is an application designed to turn your PC into a "virtual telescope" by stitching together terabytes (soon to be petabytes) of high-resolution images of the universe. Massive amounts of data are generated by the various scientific and research facilities and WorldWide Telescope brings the catalog of that data together for anyone to access using the power of the Internet. This new application is particularly exciting for me being someone really heavy into astronomy. You can also use WorldWide Telescope and connect an ASCOM-capable Telescope to your PC to watch the night sky. WorldWide Telescope lets me connect to Communities, access Collections of celestial objects such as the Solar System or Constellations, or take Guides Tours. Using my mouse, I can navigate ...

Microsoft ThinSight
2007-10-23 22:20:00 A computer screen that also acts as a two-handed touch interface and a crude infrared camera has been developed by researchers at Microsoft's labs in the UK. Users can operate the display with both hands, in a similar manner to the display in the film Minority Report. But this screen can also recognize particular hand gestures as well as objects placed within a centimeter of its surface. "It can sense much more than fingers, and is essentially a low resolution scanner and camera," says lead researcher Shahram Izadi. The screen can even communicate wirelessly with other devices nearby using the same infrared technology it uses to see. The technology ? dubbed ThinSight ? was developed by adding an extra layer of electronics behind a normal laptop screen. This adds a couple of centimeters to the overall thickness, but completely transforms its abilities. The screen "sees" by using a grid of paired infrared sensors and transmitters that sit just behind the backl...
Listas - All your lists in one place
2007-10-18 21:05:00 At Live Labs, we are always experimenting with new ideas that we think will be useful.
