In MirageTable, a 3-D stereoscopic projector projects content directly on top of the curved screen. The information is captured by the Kinect camera, which also tracks the user's gaze.

Today's youth are sharing a tremendous amount of information through social media.

The creation of intelligent computing systems that perceive, learn, and reason has been a long-standing and visionary goal in computer science.

Embark on a voyage through time, infinitely scalable from the Big Bang to today, exploring this master timeline of the cosmos, Earth, life, and human experience.

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.

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.

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

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.

A still photograph is a limited format for capturing moments that span an interval of time.

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

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.

This project is a depth-sensing and projection system that enables interactive multitouch applications on everyday surfaces.

This project presents next-generation webcam hardware and software prototypes.

Presented at Microsoft Research's TechFest 2012 Telepresence using Wedge Technology: Glassless 3-D display with a correct camera pose and view pose for a live view-dependent 3D Window Telepresence

Shake 'n' Sense is a novel yet simple mechanical technique for mitigating the interference when two or more Kinect cameras point at the same part of a physical scene.

Machine learning is being applied in new ways to understand people and to assist them with daily work and activities.

Presented at Microsoft TechForum 2012 Seeing Displays: Uses flat lenses (wedge) to see through a semi-transparent OLED for novel above screen gesture and scanning interactions.

Presented at Microsoft TechForum 2012 Behind the Screen Overlay Interactions: Behind-the-screen interaction with a transparent OLED with view-dependent, depth-corrected gaze.

Presented at Microsoft Research's TechFest 2012, Microsoft Translator Custom Edition (MTCE) implements a self-service model for building a highly customized automatic translation service between any

Seen at Microsoft Research's TechFest 2012, IllumiShare enables remote people to share any physical or digital object on any surface.

Holoflector is a unique, interactive augmented-reality mirror. Graphics are superimposed correctly on your own reflection to enable a novel augmented-reality experience.

Visualize, explore, and discover new ways to look at data about the Earth—both above and below its surface. Layerscape enables scientists to gain environmental insights into our planet.
