From All About Microsoft:

Microsoft Research is showing off publicly more natural-user-interface and Kinect-based projects ahead of the company’s annual TechFest research showcase for employees.

Microsoft officials held a day-long event on campus on February 27 to show off long-term research projects that build around natural language user interfaces and the company’s Kinect sensor.

At that event, known as TechForum, the Softies demonstrated everything from a Kinect-powered shopping cart (a project developed by Chaotic Moon and pioneered by Whole Foods), to a see-through desktop also using the Kinect sensor.
