Because headphones rank among the most popular wearables in the market, we have an exciting opportunity to expand their capabilities through integrating existing sensors with supplementary ones to enable a wide variety of experiences that go beyond traditional audio control.
Imagine an AI model that can seamlessly generate high-quality content across text, images, video, and audio, all at once. Such a model would more accurately capture the multimodal nature of the world and human comprehension, seamlessly consolidate information from a wide range of sources, and…
Editor's note, June 19, 2023 - The date existing installations of the Soundscape iOS app can continue to be used has been extended to Aug. 30, 2023. The article has been updated to reflect that change. For more than six years, Microsoft Research has been…
Getting the sound right is a crucial ingredient in natural user interfaces, immersive gaming, realistic virtual and mixed reality, and ubiquitous computing.
Mixed reality (MR) applications and devices are seeing increased adoption, integrating computation into the fabric of our daily lives. This requires realistic rendering of virtual audio-visual content to deliver sensory immersion to MR users. Producing renderings indistinguishable from reality within tight computational budgets is both…
Eye Control is an exciting technology in Windows 10 that allows customers to use their eyes to control an on-screen mouse, keyboard and text-to-speech experience. This is a technology that empowers people with limited mobility such as people living with ALS. As part of the…
