Microsoft Sustainablity: Another Vision of the Future

Microsoft has published another extremely cool vision of the future called, Microsoft Sustainability. Although it starts out the same as the "2019" video and was part of the montage of images in "2019" it shows a lot of new stuff that's really cool. If you enjoyed "2019", "The Future of Healthcare", and other Microsoft Future visions, than you are going to love this latest video titled. It's awesome.

In this video you'll find all kinds of technologies imagined as mainstream that are currently in their infancy including multitouch (of course) and NanoTouch, augmented reality, e-paper, and more. It's inspiring to watch.

What I love about this video is that a lot of these technologies, multitouch, augmented reality, and so on are things we've been looking at my work at CSG for real customers today. As I've said before we are not that far off from seeing many of these visions realized - some can be done right now.

In an video interview with Ian Sands by Larry Larson, you can learn more about the creative process that goes into making Microsoft's future videos. There is also a good written interview which is really good but I can't seem to find again (help would be appreciated).

There another video by Bruce Branit which is very cool, but it should be titled "2060" because it will take about 50 years to create a virtual, tangible, city. Still its cool to watch.
