What’s the timeline on this level of sophistication? It seems to be that a lot of the interactions demonstrated required that the software knew the intent of the user. If I had to guess…
10 years to reach this level of sophistication
And another 5-10 years for it to be widespread and common

@AdamTheLion
I am not arguing for not having digital technology or saying it’s inherently bad. However, the vision here of a daily life in which each moment is spent interacting with one form of digital interface or another is indeed a lifeless view. Who would truly want a life where you interact with technological devices more than people? I’d bet almost no healthy person would actually desire that.

@wholesystems a little ironic since you’re using that same “dark” technology to leave that comment. I’m also willing to bet you have a cell phone, and there’s a good chance it’s a smart phone too.

What a dark vision: almost no human interaction, no outside, no life, just screens and electronic interfaces. Glad this is a farce – won’t happen given too many imperfections (read bugs) in technologies. What happens when the power’s out? Daily stops? Well, we’re getting there. It’s it’s scary that people ‘aspire’ to such a dead vision of the future.

@conallab24 Agreed. There are only corporate douchebags in the video, and the future looks bleak and ugly: uniform, tastless, lonely and boring.
It kinda reminds me of that movie : No(rway) of Life…

Compartir e interactuar con la tecnología, fomentar la productividad y la eficiencia son importantes observaciones para concetividad el futuro, cada vez más cerca.

What horrible lonely lives the majority of these people seem to lead. The tech looks impressive, but I also expect that the people who own this kit will also be matched by a polar opposite collection of poor people, who finally really ‘do’ have absolutely nothing.

I love how predictive these interfaces are! I am a total nerd for this. I hope to see some of this vision in Windows 8. I cannot wait to find an internship or job after I graduate so I can finally get my hands on projects with visions like this in mind!

too bad microsoft wont make most of these things i believe in the phone and maybe even the glasses but microsoft isnt much of a mainstream consumer company but more of a buissness orientated. microsoft needs to focus on both buissnesses and average consumers also. thats why apple became so succesful they went for average consumers then for buissnesses and there ads put every other ad to shame.

I love this because of the possibilities and extensions one can infer beyond both the glitz and pragmatic of the technology offered. Material engineering, Interface design, practical and sustainable transport and tele-presence. Interesting notion of the emergence of Africa as a viable commercial hub . … very nice video indeed.

That was great, but there should have been more examples of music and art in the digital interfaces.

Where is the blue screen?

It looks great! I guess that by that time poverty will have been beaten, and that global warming will have been controlled. If those problems won’t have been solved by that time, we, humans won’t have learned anything at all. After all, as the song says: you must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss.

But can it blend?

@Mo7amm2d555 Give it a decade and I’m sure they will develop and implement technology similar to this

So according to this video, in the future, poor people will be shown to us on shiny screens and us rich folk with can just point our phones at them and send them money and then pat ourselves on the back for doing our good deed of the day, with fancy graphics to boot.
Not to mention that this is all running on Microsoft software, so the blue screen of death is never that far away. Maybe it will show up when you’re making that feel-good donation, thereby saving you money.
Thanks Microshaft.

If I want to manipulate my environment without obstructing what i’m working on with my hand I normally just make sure the bathroom door is locked.

The future is, apparently, the present but with lots and lots and lots and lots of advanced touch screens where people spend all day watching a screen of some kind, everyone, everywhere, always . . . . I won’t be happy until I can upload a Microsoft word document onto the shimmering super active-matrix organic light-emitting diode surface of the toilet paper I am about to wipe my arse on.
The future is bright, the future is admin.
