OVERVIEW

The Microsoft Envisioning Lab was developed by the Office Labs group at Microsoft. The purpose of the project is to demonstrate the next generation technologies that Microsoft is working on and then to have people interact with these technologies first hand. The Green Wall lies at the end of the walk-through demonstration of various technologies. There are tables and chairs that are occasionally swamped out with a conference table and chairs, where the participants of the demonstration can then sit and discuss their experience in front of a Green Wall, which Microsoft believes will be a technology that will play a much larger role in our lives in the near future.
