Techfest 2008 (continued)

The techfest (see prior post) features a large number of individual projects from Microsoft research. Much of the event is for internal consumption by Microsoft employees, but today only they have a "public" day that is also open to invited visitors and the press.

The event features a cross section of prjoects, and only a sample of what they are doing.

THere are several projects on sensor networks. This includes a very nice system for environmental monitoring that uses low power nodes and grid networking to collect data in outdoor environments.

There is a cool project from MSR Asia that all allows you to record the photos and travel history you experience as you move about. A nice aspect of this is that is allows gps tracks and time-stamped images to be intergrated and fused off-line.
