Microsoft is functioning
on an interactive whiteboard which aims to interpret users' sketches to
complete the diagrams they were drawing. The firm will unveil the model as part
of Techfest - an annual occasion where its researchers reveal some of the
projects they are working on. The project is one of several large-screen
technologies under progress by Microsoft which it believes will become more
common both at work and home in the future.
The digital picture is designed
to help workers make sense of big data - the growing amount of information
available from sensors and other sources. Microsoft suggests the facility would
be preferable to near presentation software, including its own PowerPoint
program, in which such graphics must be prepared in advance of a production.
