December 29 LATEST NEWS ON NEXT OS MICROSOFT WINDOWS 7 .... WHAT IS COMING IN NEXT OS WINDOWS 7 IS A WOW ... LOOK AT THE VIDEO ... Touch is a compelling input"The one that's perhaps not as fully appreciated as some of the others: natural user interface," Gates stated. "This is the idea that just typing and using the mouse is only one of the ways that we'll interact with these machines. The arrival of cheap cameras with great software, the ability with the pen to write on a surface, have that be recognized; the ability to recognize speech—those are going to come into the experience, and those are central to allowing computing to be pervasive. (...) Natural user interface—you're actually seeing a bit of this in Microsoft products and other products," Gates added referring to Microsoft Surface, but also to the iPhone from Apple and the Nintendo Wii. LOOK AT THE VIDEO I HAVE ON THIS ... THE INFO THIS IS IT ... Windows Aero Is Old News – Introducing LucidTouch User Interface .. If you think that Microsoft's journey into the development of natural user interfaces has stopped with the availability of Surface, then think again. The Redmond company is hard at work in a collaboration with Mitsubishi Research to produce LucidTouch. Chairman Bill Gates, underscored the fact the upcoming 10 years in computing evolution will be focused – among other things – on developing natural user interfaces. A natural UI is of course designed to scrape the products that have become traditionally associated with the interaction model between humans and computers such as the keyboard or the mouse. The upcoming steps in computing technology will bring a range of innovations. But in addition to Surface, Microsoft is working on other projects designed to deliver natural interfaces in the hands of the users. Just take a look at the video embedded at the bottom in order to make an idea of what LucidTouch is all about. Of course, currently, LucidTouch is nothing more than a prototype, and it is still a long way away from being integrated into a marketable and commercial product. Essentially, LucidTouch is a natural user interface meant for transparent mobile devices allowing the users to use multiple points of contact in order to interact with the product. Because of the pseudo-transparency mechanisms, users are able to use all 10 fingers simultaneously, as the back touch pad comes with multi-touch input capabilities. Touch is a compelling input modality for interactive devices; however, touch input on the small screen of a mobile device is problematic because a user’s fingers occlude the graphical elements he wishes to work with. LucidTouch is a mobile device that addresses this limitation by allowing the user to control the application by touching the back of the device. The key to making this usable is what we call pseudo-transparency: by overlaying an image of the user’s hands onto the screen, we create the illusion of the mobile device itself being semitransparent," revealed Microsoft researcher Patrick Baudisch. THE VIDEO HAVE A LOOK ... OUR MR C .... VISTA V XPFROM OUR MR C ............ RUNTIME APPROX 30MIN Windows 7 - Next Generation of Windows MicrosoftWindows 7 - Next Generation of Windows Microsoft will be release their new Windows in late 2009 called “Windows Seven”. According to Wikipedia, Windows 7 with codename Blackcomb and then Vienna confirmed by Microsoft is the internal name for the next version of the Windows Client OS. From first release of Windows Vista on January 2007, Windows 7 will be release on 32 bit and 64 bit version. Although the official said Windows 7 will be 64 bit, maybe we remember when Windows XP released, Windows Longhorn planned to be 64 bit version only. And now most of the PC still use 32 bit version, and I though Windows 7 will be release in 32 bit version. In some forum there are many opinion why the next generation of Windows call Seven. Here are the opinions why called Windows 7: |
