Microsoft demonstrates its Surface on a spherical display. Sphere, which is the name of the new concept, allows viewing pictures, videos and the like in a 360-degree angle.
The images are produced by a projector, which is placed inside the translucent sphere. Certain algorithms fit the picture to the round display shape. The interaction with the user is done via infrared sensors.
The head of the Sphere project at Microsoft, Hrvoje Benko, is sure that there will be many interactive displays of this type in future. Today the researchers focus to observe how people interact with the Sphere.
The project will be presented at the Microsoft Research Faculty Summit 2008 in Redmond.
