A short summary motivating our foveated 3D rendering technique, the challenges faced and our solutions, and our validation and tuning through user studies.

A presentation from the Games, Networks and Markets event held in Cambridge UK between 28-29 June 2012.

A short demo of cccheck/Clousot The code implements a (buggy) Binary Search. The squiggles are bugs found by the static checker. The boxes are fixes suggested by it

Over the last decade, technical and infrastructural developments have created a nurturing environment for developing applications of machine learning and reasoningΓÇöand for harnessing automated

A great deal of research on security has taken place within Microsoft over the years.

Microsoft Research founder Nathan Myhrvold, Chief Research Officer Rick Rashid and other distinguished scientists say Microsoft's collaborative environment and 'living the future' are among the keys

This is a concept video about reading spaces.

WouldnΓÇÖt it be nice if you could easily find a particular store in a crowded shopping mall, or locate an office in an unfamiliar building, using just your cell phone?

In collaboration with the University of Washington, we are developing a system for automatic vertebrae localization and identification in arbitrary field-of-view CT scans.

Rick Rashid, Microsoft Chief Research Officer, presents his vision for the future of computing research and the resources Microsoft Research can bring to bear on the evolution of computing.

Making the case that current research has just scratched the surface of what is possible for the future of computing, Andy van Dam, Professor of Computer Science at Brown University, indicates that

This tutorial provides you with a brief overview of ChronoZoom, a master timeline of the cosmos, Earth, life, and human experience.

Six groups (teams Babbage, Boole, G├╢del, Turing, Shannon, and Simon), composed of Microsoft Research computer scientists and their colleagues from other research organizations, reflected separately

Benjamin Handel of UC Berkley focuses on how individuals interact with the medical care sector to make important decisions. This involves using the information available and the incentives they face.

When performing complex gestures that require a specific form or technique, such as an exercise or playing an instrument, we use resources such as visual diagrams or videos to communicate concepts

Humantenna senses whole-body gestures without any instrumentation to the environment and only minimal instrumentation to the user.

What if not only what movement we do but also how we move could be picked up by a system in interaction with technology?

A freely available, open source Windows application that lets almost anyone use their computer to do stuff automatically across all their devices. Just select an event (e.g.

Beamatron is a new, augmented-reality concept that combines a projector and a Kinect camera on a pan-tilt moving head. The moving head is used to place the projected image almost anywhere in a room.

This project explores ways for people to experience search that are complementary to fast, relevant search in response to queries.

High-Fidelity Facial-Animation Capturing presents a new approach for acquiring high-fidelity, 3-D facial performances with realistic dynamic wrinkles and finely scaled facial details.

Presented at Microsoft TechFest 2012 This project presents a glassless 3-D display with a correct camera pose and view pose for a live view-dependent 3-D Window Telepresence experience.

Wearable Multitouch Interaction is a depth-sensing and projection system that enables interactive multitouch applications on everyday surfaces.

Modern touch devices allow one to interact with virtual objects. However, there is a substantial delay between when a finger moves and the display responds.

A huge amount of climate data is available, covering the whole of the Earth surface.
