Envisioning is Microsoft’s way of looking into the future of technology and let me tell you it’s impressive. These futuristic concepts cover almost all the areas of our lives, e.g. Retail, Education, Banking, Health, etc..

The concepts you see in the following video are projected to come to life in 5-10 years but it definitely shows how technology can change the way we interact in real-time and make our lives easier and comfortable.

What you see in the video is clearly impressive. If not all of them, I’d really like to see few concepts in the video come to life.

I don’t know how much of help is a transparent wall going to be in classes but a digital card, a digital newspaper, the projector and the presentation consoles in the office, the multi-touch tables and gadgets, etc. are things I am really looking forward to.

I love Microsoft for what they’ve done, they have made PC Easy! But again, what we see in the video are the ideal technology concepts in the ideal world. Let’s not forget the blue screens or BSOD.
