Microsoft Research’s Next Media Browser
22 Jul 2004
The Next Media Browser being worked on by Microsoft Research looks extremely cool. I would think they could create a better quality video tour (blurry and bad audio) but overall this seems to be the “next generation” of photo organization. Too bad it isn’t avaliable and probably won’t be for another 2 or 3 years as it is research project that is built using Longhorn technology and as far as I can tell isn’t in any production mode. I’m sure they have a lot of people working to incorperate their research into actual products… it just seems like they should be able to do this more often and faster.
It can see this 3D timeline browsing being useful for Windows Media Center with recorded TV shows and all the other media you’d be storing.
