Technologies and Innovations that we had thought of as futuristic just a few years ago have now become a part of our daily routine. Who would have imagined seamless connectivity spanning multiple devices at super high speeds? Well, its all happening now and we have accepted them as normal. The good news is that its going to get much better. There are plenty of new technologies that are waiting to be released into the market for us to indulge in. One such place that is a breeding ground for such innovations is Microsoft’s Center for Information Work (CIW).
At CIW, technologies that are 5 to 7 years ahead of current trends are continuously being evolved along with innovative productivity software advances that will make this vision real for people and organizations. These developments are focused on improving productivity and efficiency while solving problems being faced today.
StraTech, DigiDesk, RoundTableâ„¢ and other Future Workspaces are some of the technologies that are being readied to enrich offices and homes of the future. The real value addition to these technologies comes with advanced software that is adapted for ease of use. Such a combination can see users shielded from information fatigue, unify various modes of communication, make information universally available across different applications and devices, and make information easier to find and share.
StraTech is a large monitor that wraps around the person viewing it. DigiDesk is a touch sensitive work space featuring advanced visualization, modeling of information, smarter integration of metadata and more sophisticated pattern recognition. The Microsoft RoundTableâ„¢ (tipped to hit the markets in 2007), is a collaboration tool with a 360-degree camera designed to deliver an immersive conferencing experience that extends the meeting room across multiple locations.
These tremendous innovations from CIW along with enhanced software can provide a big boost to individual and workplace productivity by providing an immersive and highly customized experience.
