Ranveer Chandra, a senior researcher in mobile computing at Microsoft Research, says the technology could help accelerate dreams of being able to deploy cheap,
The technology is being developed in collaboration with researchers at MIT and Microsoft. In addition to making it easier for people with simple vision problems to use all kinds of displays without glasses,
#Amazon s Zocalo Cloud Service Casts a Shadow over Startups In the 1990s Microsoft became identified with the Death Star partly by enticing developers to build applications (such as Wordperfect

Microsoft s Quantum Search for The next Transistor Microsoft is making a significant investment in creating a practical version of the basic component needed to build a quantum computer,
In an interview, he told MIT Technology Review that Microsoft had kept previously its quantum effort relatively quiet
Microsoft has dedicated a quantum computing research lab, known as Station Q, on the campus of University of California,
Microsoft is not currently attempting to build a quantum computer. Rather, its research effort is aimed at developing a reliable version of the qubit, the key building block of a quantum computer.
Microsoft research focuses on a type of qubit known as a topological qubit that theory suggests would encode data in a much more robust way.
around four years ago, Microsoft researchers led work to pose a series of key tests that could show
Microsoft funded several labs around the world to work on those questions, says Lee. wo years ago the results started to come in positive.
Microsoft has developed specialized tools for quantum experiments and given them to the academic community. Those tools range from cloud simulation platforms for theoretical work to new types of electronics for use in the super-cooled temperatures of quantum hardware experiments.
Microsoft is already looking ahead to explore what could be done with a system of topological qubits once they are built. upposing that one day we have a quantum machine:
#Microsoft s 3-D Audio Gives Virtual Objects a Voice Just as a new generation of virtual reality goggles for video games are about to hit the market,
researchers at Microsoft have come up with what could be the perfect accompaniment way for ordinary headphones to create a realistic illusion of sound coming from specific locations in space.
Microsoft researchers refer to the technology as 3-D audio. In a demonstration of the technology at Microsoft Silicon valley lab,

#Microsoft Readies a Virtual Assistant for the Corporate World Microsoft reputation for innovation has suffered in recent years despite the company undeniable prowess in research and engineering.

and uses machine-learning algorithms to identify useful patterns. Oslo looks like a corporate manager answer to Google Now,

Microsoft is struggling to compete not only with Google search, Google docs, Google Drive, and Android but with Google ability to leverage big data.
Between these products, Microsoft arguably has access to more proprietary information than any other service provider On earth.
Moreover, applying similar technology to Microsoft products aimed at, say, customer relationship management could give the company an advantage over competitors like Oracle, Salesforce, and SAP.

#Microsoft's drones to catch mosquitoes and help stop epidemics WASHINGTON: Microsoft researchers are developing autonomous drones that collect mosquitoes to look for early signs that potentially harmful viruses are spreading,
with the goal of preventing disease outbreaks in humans. Project Premonition, launched by American tech company Microsoft,
is developing a system that aims to detect infectious disease outbreaks before they become widespread. Project Premonition could eventually allow health officials to get a jump start on preventing outbreaks of a disease like dengue fever
the Microsoft researcher who is spearheading the project, calls'nature's drones'-mosquitoes-to look for early signs that a particular illness could be on the move.
Microsoft researchers are beginning to develop ways to make the drones even more autonomous, and they are also working with US Federal aviation administration officials on regulatory requirements, according to a post on the company's blog.

However, Microsoft has just been awarded a patent for the step preceding 3d printing: making 3d printable digital models of objects, specifically after scanning.

#Microsoft tries to thwart Google by investing in Cyanogen Windows phone still hasn set the world on fire,
so it seems Microsoft is investigating other ways to compete against Google and Apple in the mobile market.
Reports are coming in that Microsoft will participate in a round of funding for Cyanogen, Inc. the commercial enterprise that formed out of the Cyanogenmod community.
This will only give Microsoft a minority stake in the company, but this could hint at large changes for one of the largest tech companies in the world.
a few nuggets of information have come to light regarding Microsoft decision to help fund this fork of Android.
but sources claim that Microsoft will be a inority investorin Cyanogen latest round of funding (estimated at $70 million).
At the very least, this is Microsoft hedging its bets. On the other hand, maybe there more to this story.
Microsoft might just be laying the groundwork for a future without Windows phone. Cyanogen Earlier this week, Microsoft released the first stable version of Office on Android.
Similarly, the brand new mobile version of Outlook debuted on ios. Microsoft is well aware
of which way the wind is blowing, and it seems increasingly focused on delivering top-tier support to competing platforms.
If Microsoft can get a piece of that massive pie, all the better for its shareholders. With free access to Office and free upgrades to Windows 10, Microsoft is bowing to market realities.
Google docs and OS X make it increasingly difficult for Microsoft to sell its products outright. Instead money has to come from subscriptions services and support contracts.
None of that is inherently bad, but clearly the Microsoft of 2015 shows little resemblance to the Microsoft of ten or twenty years ago.
This news serves as a stark reminder that the old grey mare just ain what she used to be

#Big Day for Microsoft; Launched Hololens 3d headset at Windows 10 Event On Windows 10 event,
Microsoft introduced its Hololens 3d headset which can be used to interact with holographic images and allowing its users to play video games and build 3d models.
Microsoft Hololens headset was the most eye-catching thing at the event when Windows 10 was showcased,
which a major OS release from Microsoft. The company said the headset would be available around the same time that Windows 10 is released,
Microsoft chief executive, Satya Nadella said ur industry progress is punctuated by moments of category creation. Windows and holographic computing is one such moment.
Microsoft employee demonstrated it by designing a model of drone with the hand gesture to manipulate tools that were visible to her with the help of headset.
Microsoft did revealed not key details about the headset; including the most important question that how much it will cost.
Microsoft announced a free one-year upgrade to its users. So for the Windows users it is a good time to upgrade to Windows 10,
This would help Microsoft to get hundreds of millions of users running the older versions of Windows to upgrade quickly to the newest version.
