So, a lot of the comments here are misunderstanding what this video is, and focusing on parts that don't matter. First, here are the last two editions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gEWoVCl-xU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gEWoVCl-xU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6cNdhOKwi0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6cNdhOKwi0 In addition many commenters are getting distracted by the nature of the displays, the lack of focus on people, and the level of automation in the software. This video is made by Microsoft's Office team, and the key idea here is the content of the productivity scenarios they've expressed. And truthfully, they've made some fairly successful predictions in past videos, including items like Skype automatic translation, services like PlateJoy, natural ink processing... So what are they actually predicting here? Here's what I spot in order: Augmented reality in work scenarios (diving) Gesture control in augmented reality Sharing of what you personally see 3D printers in the classroom Pannable panoramic video recordings Trivial sharing between computers Flexible screens Perfect wireless coverage Advanced budgeting assistance High quality freelancer-project matching Use of pens on touch screens for writing and more Automatic advanced data-visualizations (the types of things that are custom made at the moment) An armband device using hand gestures instead of touch. 24 hour coworking spaces available on short notice. Easy window organization Do not disturb for all incoming contact Automatic diet tracking Even better contextual video Advanced job performance analysis Looks like a pretty cool and not unreasonable list of predictions to me. They're not saying that this is what this WILL look like, just what it might look like. And honestly, I think we will see at least 50% of those items in the next ten years.
