Presentation Transcript

  1. Web 2.0 / from the LabsMicrosoft Live Labs Gary William Flake, Ph.D. Technical Fellow, Microsoft Founding Director, Microsoft Live Labs

  2. Who We Are • Founded as a partnership between Microsoft Research and Windows/Windows Live • Reporting to Ray Ozzie, Chief Software Architect • A rich blend of: • Scientists • Engineers • Designers • Entrepreneurs

  3. Why We are Different • Historically, MS has focused on the extremes: • Engineering Science • Short term Long term • Top down Bottom up • Tactical Strategic • Vertical Horizontal • Live Labs focuses on the intersections to: • Create new hybrid career tracks • Efficiently bridge efforts across the company • Be better positioned to identify and drive unique opportunities

  4. What We Think is Important Ability to author, use, and relate digital objects Find, search, discover, recommend, relate, advise, inform Push, publish, tag, comment, extend, annotate, aggregate The Internet Value from network effects and platform efficiencies Richness of the distributed digital ecosystem Learn, analyze, optimize, experiment

  5. What You’ll See Today • Photosynth • Built by the Live Labs team – in partnership with many – It allows us to see how many people’s photos relate to one another and to the larger world. • The Photosynth viewer is being released today.

  6. What We’ll only Talk About Today • Virtual Earth 3D • Built by the Windows Live Local team, VE3D brings us one step closer to having the virtual world mirrored by the virtual world. It represents a new state-of-the-art for navigating the 3D world from your browser. • Released on Monday (11/6) • Key Points • Runs in the browser as ActiveX plugin • Uses the same backend as Live maps and Photosynth • Rich mashup API • Photo realistic city models • Photosynth is the “long tail” to the VE3D

  7. Demos

  8. Summary • Photosynth is a poster child example of the values and strategy of Live Labs • Rich collaboration of many parties (MSR, UW, Product teams, etc.) • Rapid time to release (4 mo. to prototype, 3 more mo. to preview) • Turns user generated content into entirely new value • Shows how hybrid applications that are part client and part server can realize the best of both worlds (rich interaction with vast and rich remote data) • Play with it today: http://labs.live.com/photosynth/ • Props to our homies: • UW: Noah Snavely Steve Seitz • MSR: Rick Szeliski. • WL/Local: backend hosting
