14 DAY TRIAL // Watch the video embedded above in order to get a truly unique perspective over the evolution of computing from Steven Bathiche, director of Research in Microsoft's Applied Sciences Group.
Toward the end, Bathiche talks about the work Microsoft Research is doing to make the computer invisible. Not literally, of course, but rather to integrate computing deep enough in mundane aspects of life that users no longer realize it’s there.
Bathiche helped found the Applied Sciences Group at the software giant, and he is credited as the co-inventor of Microsoft Surface.
“Bathiche's interests are in creating novel human interfaces and computer form factors that create new scenarios and user paradigms to ultimately affect people's lives and their digital world. His current technical focus is in the field of co-locating display and sensing technologies. He holds 45 patents,” the company reveals about him.
