Microsoft’s Vision On Future Homes(Video)

May 2, 2011 | By Pradeep

Steve Clayton and Flora Goldthwaite give us an exclusive tour of The Microsoft Home.

The Microsoft Home, located on the Redmond campus in the Executive Briefing Center, is an envisioning of the family home in the very near future where connected experiences and devices take their next logical steps and beyond.

First opened in 1994, The Microsoft Home is maintained by a group of researchers under Microsoft’s Chief Research and Strategy Officer, Craig Mundie, and is updated regularly.

Unfortunately The Microsoft Home is not open to the public but Channel 9 was given special permission to film a sneak-peak tour for this episode of Microsoft Campus Tours.

Steve Clayton, the Microsoft Story teller will give us a walkthrough of Microsoft’s infrastructure in Redmond in the coming days. The above video is part of the new series of videos. If you want to know how our future will be, enjoy the video above and share your thoughts with us.

The fact that Microsoft is showing all this cool tech then i can only guess that they already have those ideas patented in one form or the next.

Microsoft has always been good at dreaming up nice concepts but are terrible at actually bringing them to reality. If they pushed more of these concepts into production they would be dictating the direction of technology today, not apple.

And now just wait for Apple to steal those ideas and drop them on the market ASAP :/
