Retail Future Vision

[EvilCardboard]

That makes no sense. 0:20 If you are entering why is the "welcome" reverse for the entering person, whom the welcome is directed at? Well done Microsoft.

i like how there are holograms everywhere but the tablet is running windows xp

[jehuty2007]

And it was released 2004 ... nice vision

[officevideos]

@jehuty2007 Thanks! We encourage you to share your own vision with us. How do you see technology helping shape communication and productivity?

The stock boy should have received a notification: "Do not leave boxes in the middle of an aisle."

windows xp trololololololo

I was expecting robots to restock the floor... with this much technology why are we still using human labour? Doesn't seem efficient enough to me.

[officevideos]

@crescentZber Ha! Robots would have been sweet. If parts of the video can become real in the next 5-10 years, it will make people lives better. Microsoft is hoping to spark conversation around the future, and what role technology will play in it. Do you think robots are in the distant future?

[leppy111]

These stores don't want you to shop efficiently - they want you to hang around and impulse buy.

[spudnick177]

Leaving the box is a safely hazard

[JerryNixon]

This video is pretty accurate - and was realized pretty quickly

[officevideos]

@JerryNixon These are some of the ideas we have, but we’d like to see your ideas so we can be sure Microsoft creates software that will be useful to our users.

[dunyafilm]

Love videos like this-- we already have a lot of these things through apps!

[officevideos]

@dunyafilm That's so true. Microsoft has some great technology in development, so we're hoping to spark some conversation about the future. What is your vision for the future?

[bickertonjames]

Interesting how interfaces have changes after the advent of multitouch

[biggerben2010]

Hahahah the future is old Windows mobile and xp and no NFC or futuristic concept UI. This 2004 video prediction is so funny. The 2009 and 2011 video is better.

[RaulUT801]

I'd imagine this would make shoplifting nearly impossible, which would be good.

[elkdrummer]

So apparently no one talks to each other in the future? And clerks throw paper towels at you?

[keithunix]

@elkdrummer

actually, that was kind of badass, showing how seamless this vision is.

[officevideos]

@keithunix The future is certainly intriguing. We're obviously not trying to predict the future with these videos, but we're thinking a lot about it! Technology will play an integral point in interaction in the future!

[keithunix]

@officevideos

predicting and vision are important factors in design and implementation.

it also encourages guys like me to come with ideas of my own. ^_^

[officevideos]

@elkdrummer Ha, we hope people will still communicate face-to-face. Conversations with friends and family will happen like they do today, but we believe technology will have a great impact on how we communicate.

[zaghy2zy]

I think the best part of this video is the idea that you don't need to go through a cashier and have your items scanned manually then pay for them... Just pay it through your device and each item has already been "scanned" as you go through the door... Easy shopping... No need to line up and all that fuss

[officevideos]

@zaghy2zy Seemed pretty simple, huh? Microsoft is always looking at ways we can use technology to make things easier. Videos like these help us put a vision to the future.

[strancanel]

This is great, but this is a video referring to the integrated hand held devices from 2004?

[digitalfactoryph]

@strancanel no, the video was released in 2004.
