The TED2010 is over, but the great talks I heard the lucky attendees will go out gradually. One is given by Blaise Aguera , the architect behind Bing Maps , and view it worthwhile to discover what is working at Microsoft.
Most of the service and you said Yira the last month, but have shown an experiment that is absolutely awesome. To begin, have taken pictures at the doorstep of a market that is, with panoramic trade indoor . To achieve this have been one of those cameras on the hat of an employee. They have also integrated various services such as augmented reality, showing data points in the direction where there is a trade.
The spectacular is that not only have integrated images with Photosynth, but have also installed the infrastructure for stream video live so geopositioning . This in itself is fine, although it seems that has no practical application beyond the number of lawsuits for invasion of privacy that would rain on Microsoft.
But the future becomes more exciting if we think we can achieve this effect by simply using Android, iPhone or other mobile compass. Question of time and under video, not long.
Blaise Aguera is not the first time you visit these conferences, as taught for 3 years as coauthor of invention Photoshynth. This technology has evolved today in Bing Maps, making it a worthy competition from Google Maps at least in America. As a bonus, the retired Bill Gates has also gone through this TED2010, to talk about energy.
