Microsoft’s head of research and strategy Craig Mundie is doing the “Microsoft College Tour ’09″, and here he shows what I would call a must-see demo of a user interface being developed by Microsoft that accepts input from voice and pen, but also can interpret gestures and even eye-tracking. This video shows how eye tracking could work on an array of hundreds of document thumbnails, and the demo is very, very impressive (though when it comes to search I think I’d rather track through fewer good quality search results than get lost in this many…).
Here he shows some gestural interactivity. It’s short but very cool.
