Your grandkids - if you don't already have them -- will one day wonder how you ever got along without motion sensor cameras and voice recognition microphones in your home office. That's assuming Microsoft's vision of a futuristic office ever comes to fruition.
In a YouTube video, Microsoft Research shows off a prototype for a next-gen office environment, which is largely built around Microsoft Surface technology. Neat tricks abound, such as holding up a document against a giant, wall-mounted Surface where it's instantly scanned and able to be pinned, but that's just the beginning.
You really have to check out the video, and we dare you not to make any comparisons to Minority Report.
