Looking into the future

The future of technology was the topic of discussion at yesterday’s address by Microsoft’s Chief Research and Strategy officer, Craig Mundie at the Committee for Economic Development (CEDA).

The discussion focused on the future of technological devices, also particular attention was focused on the use of Avartar’s in Kinect. Kinect used with Xbox 360 brings games and entertainment in new ways without using a controller, and already more than 10 million of these devices have been sold worldwide.

Demonstrations were also provided on new ways technology can be used in healthcare. Asher Moses from the Sydney Morning Herald provides his perspectives here.
