The Verge Visits Microsoft Edison Lab

Microsoft's working on some wild technology in its Redmond labs, and The Verge's Joshua Topolsky recently toured the facilities to see the latest innovations. Today they are sharing a mind-bending look at a suite of technologies that Microsoft is developing in order to create a holodeck-like experience.

Stevie Bathiche, director of research at Microsoft's applied sciences lab, says to "imagine a day where in your home, one wall is dedicated to being your magic wall. A wall where it can teleport you to another world without really going anywhere." Bathiche shows off a number of systems that aim to accomplish this vision, including a system that projects LED light to detect a human being's movements in space, and a glasses-free stereoscopic display that can be "steered" by the viewer as they move.
