  1. The Future of Working EasyLiving/ASI Highlights: Images and Captions for the Microsoft Museum Microsoft Research

  2. Working with Large Amounts of Information on a Wall Display • A user’s information is displayed within a 3D user interface on a wall-display. (A) Icons for frequently contacted colleagues are arranged by project while (B) files are segregated by project and time. (C) A summary of new information, sorted by criticality, as well as a todo list are shown superimposed over the information collection. (D) Related links for each item are easily accessed. Microsoft Research

  3. Working Together • During collaboration a (A) compact representation each person’s information space appears with only public information shown. • Each user points and looks at items in the information space, before speaking, thus indicating that their speech should be interpreted as dictation. (B) Visual cues show that changes are flagged as tentative until they are accepted by both people. Microsoft Research

  4. Working from Home • A person working from home engages in an augmented video- teleconference with a (A) colleague at the office. The various PCs, sensors, displays, and devices are integrated with the existing home environment. For example, (B) switch plates near the door of each room show the privacy-state of each room, and provide simple touch-screen interfaces to common room controls. • (C) The room is aware of where people are and automatically switches to use the best video feed. Microsoft Research

  5. Working in a more Comfortable Place – Dynamic Following • Sometimes we may want to change where we are working. Here a person working from home has decided to tele-collaborate while fixing lunch for the kids. (A) The system has automatically moved the appropriate video feed to the kitchen and has (B) simplified the display to accommodate the smaller display and noisier environment. Microsoft Research

  6. Working in a Crowded Environment • A person working from home engages in an augmented video- teleconference with a (A) colleague at the office. (B) People who are not actually part of the meeting are automatically obscured. (C) Documents in each person’s environment are labeled via on-screen overlays. • During the conversation, (D) video insets show what the kids are up to in other parts of the house and the (E) outgoing video. Microsoft Research

  7. Working, Sharing, and Revising • (A) A participant at a meeting makes suggested changes, including sketches, via a handheld PC. (B) Items can be “dragged” from the handheld device to the wall display. • (C) Remote participants are shown in a peripheral region. Microsoft Research

  8. Working on the Move - Public Kiosks • In the future, outdoor kiosks could be made sport 3D holographic displays. • Here a person walks up to a public kiosk and is greeted with personalized information, in this case a (A) collection of news stories, hierarchically arranged. (B) The person places their handheld computer next to the kiosk so that information “flows” from the kiosk into the handheld computer. Microsoft Research
