Put a skillet on your stove as you prepare to make a stir-fry, and an interactive chef on the big screen in your kitchen tells you a wok would probably work better.
Take a sketch of something you’ve been drawing on your tablet, and swipe it over to a large digital screen that doubles as your work surface. Then get that sketch to appear on a huge wall screen so that you and a co-worker halfway around the world can work on the sketch simultaneously.
Those are some of the scenarios Microsoft says could happen in the next five to 10 years — and has brought to life now in its new Envisioning Center, which opens Friday.
