Microsoft's 3D Desktop now put your computing with your own fingertip!

   The Microsoft applied scientist group has show a prototype of a new Microsoft 3D desktop. The system is use with the Samsung's OLED desktop and also Kinect's sensor. There is a normal keyboard beneath the transparent screen to allow the user to type as normal. There is an example of this new Microsoft desktop is to flip through a stack of file is to reach it into the desktop and move it. The sensor not only track the hand positioning it also track down your eye and head position. By doing that it tracks where you can see the pictures and screen so it will fit with where you are. By getting the exact position of where you are it allow the screen to show you the exact 3D perspective of the screen!
   I think this is a great invention and a new technology. Well it isn't really a new technology because they just take other company's screen and using one of their own technology the Kinect's sensor to use as the sensor for this new prototype. This is a great thing to know because we can be sure that our technology is developing day by day we have new invention or new technology because we keep investigating new ways to do so. I think that this is really useful in the future because its alot easier to control and you don't need a mouse anymore to do any of the computer things.
