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.
