For 15 years, Microsoft Research has been pivotal in helping fulfill Microsoft’s evolving vision for the future of computing: a new era of personal, business, and intellectual communication supported by computers that are always available, vastly easier to use, and far more powerful than those of today.

Machine learning: The goal of this research is to enable computers to do a better job of understanding users and tasks
Natural language processing and speech recognition: Designing computer systems that can analyse, understand, and generate languages that humans use naturally is intended
Vision technology: Projects that range from image-based rendering and animation to human tracking and 3-D scene reconstruction
Telepresence: This research focuses on enabling computer users to feel as if they or others are present at an event—through the use of digital media such as video, audio, images, and animation.
