Microsoft's cool new technology is the first to see

Computer store news: Wearable computing devices are now very hot, Google smart glasses $ 1500 is still only some developers can grab, there are reports that Apple, Samsung, LG, Microsoft have plans to launch smart watches.

Microsoft Chief Research Officer Rick Rashid describes Microsoft's plans for future technology products, including smart watches. Rashid said that Microsoft has been developing smart watches for some time. “One of the problems we encountered when we developed smart watches at the beginning of this century was that many users in potential target markets did not wear watches at all. ”

Earlier this week, there was news that the Xbox team had got the smartwatch prototype and tested it. In any case, Microsoft's smartwatch may not be available in the short term, but Microsoft's other revolutionary technologies are close at hand.

Microsoft Research has completed the development and market research of emotional detection systems, which can calculate their emotions or mental state through a person's tone, expression, and so on. Rashid said they will develop more emotional-related technologies, such as robots, because current software and hardware are becoming more advanced.

Microsoft senior researcher Desney Tan recently developed a contact lens that measures a person's organ health, such as blood pressure. In addition to medicine, this technology can be used in other fields, such as image display. The magic is that this lens is driven by human heat, so there is no need to charge.

At the end of last year, Rashid also demonstrated Microsoft's latest speech recognition translation technology in China. It can accurately identify what you are saying and translate it into the language you need, and then use your accent to say it. It’s the same as your own speech. The technology's accuracy rate is as high as 93%, which is comparable to professional translators (accuracy rate is about 97%-98%). This technology has also made breakthrough progress and will soon launch related products globally.
