"So for the first time in its 15 year history, Microsoft Research's TechFest showcase for internal R&D projects was opened to the public. We headed up to Redmond to check out what some of the Microsoft engineers were working on behind the scenes, some of which went live as products, some of which we won't see for years, and some of which we may never see productized at all. We understand there's still some more internal-only TechFest stuff going down this week, but check out our gallery from some of the wacky concepts, prototypes, and products we think you'll get into."
Yes, do check out
Engadget's gallery. There's a lot to do with Windows Mobile, and the pictures speak for themselves. The demo pictured above is particularly interesting. Armed with a Cingular 3125, Joe Average takes a picture of a DVD cover, and after a brief moment, Lincoln (presumably the codename of the application being used) spits out an Amazon review of the movie. Neat!
