A few Microsoft projects currently being developed or already in some level of public testing make me fairly excited and I want to share them with you:
Microsoft Research: World Wide Telescope
Imagine exploring the sky from your computer. Imagine an ever expanding collection of images from telescopes from all over the world and beyond streamed to your machine with seamless zooming and panning.
World Wide Telescope is an amazing application that will change the way astronomers work, teachers teach and consumers experience space and other worlds. Make sure to check it out:
Live Mesh
Instead of trying to hype up this (amazing!!) new platform and consumer application experience ill leave it to the experts and give you the main bullet points posted by Amit Mital, the General Manager for the project:
If this does not make you excited then don’t worry about this technology, otherwise read on at the links below!
Microsoft Research: HD View (Beta)
HD View is yet another image technology from Microsoft but with an interesting twist. Imagine taking hundreds of photos at various zoom levels and resolutions of an area and being able to automatically stitch them together into a panoramic and zoomable image. This is exactly the experience that HD View brings and really opens up photography to new rich experiences.
