Microsoft TileCode is an app for designing, coding, and playing video games directly on low-cost MakeCode Arcade gaming handhelds, as well as in the web browser.
Ada is the first first architectural pavilion project to incorporate artificial intelligence, Ada’s knitted light immerses visitors in a responsive and interactive glow of photoluminescence driven by individual and collective expression data gathered and housed within Microsoft Research Building 99.
Digital imagery pervades modern life. More than a billion images per day are produced and uploaded to social media sites, and we also encounter digital images within websites, apps, digital documents, and eBooks. Engaging with digital imagery is part of…
Project Triton performs physical simulation to provide sound propagation for games and mixed reality. It creates an accurate acoustic rendering at practical CPU cost and provides designer control.
The Demikernel is a new library OS architecture for kernel-bypass I/O in datacenter servers. The Demikernel defines a new kernel-bypass I/O abstraction and uses library OSes to flexibly provide that abstraction across different kernel-bypass devices (e.g., DPDK, RDMA). This standardized,…
