A new convergence of physical, personal and virtual worlds is on the horizon as computers tap 3D imaging and information filters to help us grab what’s most important to us. Touch screens, sensors, social networks and other devices already are making the computer something we interact with in a personal way. And that’s just the start as technology advances. Microsoft’s Chief Research Officer Craig Mundie, will present at Northwestern University on just how the computer interface is evolving to become “more like us.” Mundie, who joined Microsoft in 1992, oversees the company’s long-term technology strategy. Mundie previewed his upcoming lecture with Medill and what changes we can expect from computers in the near future.
