    摘要: The claimed subject matter relates to a display that is physically separable and to an associated architecture that can facilitate data mobility or collaboration in connection with the separable display. In particular, the separable display can be configured as an apparent unitary or singular UI for an associated multi-node computer, yet for which portion of the separable display can be physically decoupled. The multi-node computer can include a set of computing nodes, each of which can potentially operate autonomously, yet also in unison with other nodes to form a collective multiprocessor computing platform. Moreover, each of the computing nodes can be embedded in and distributed throughout the separable display. Accordingly, when a portion of the separable display is decoupled from a remainder of the separable display, both the portion and the remainder can include some subset of the computing nodes, and can therefore maintain the UI.

    摘要: The claimed subject matter relates to architectures that can provide rich features associated with information-based collaborative searches by leveraging a multi-touch surface computing-based display. In particular, a first architecture can include a multi-touch surface configured to support interactivity with multiple collocated users simultaneously. Based upon such interaction, the first architecture can transmit to a search engine a multiuser surface identifier and a set of search terms input by collocated users that share a collaborative task. In response, the architecture can receive a set of search results from a second architecture, and present those results to the multi-touch surface in a variety of ways. The second architecture can relate to a search engine that can process the search terms to generate corresponding search results and also process information associated with the multiuser surface identifier.

    摘要: Systems and methods for reducing interference between multiple infra-red depth cameras are described. In an embodiment, the system comprises multiple infra-red sources, each of which projects a structured light pattern into the environment. A controller is used to control the sources in order to reduce the interference caused by overlapping light patterns. Various methods are described including: cycling between the different sources, where the cycle used may be fixed or may change dynamically based on the scene detected using the cameras; setting the wavelength of each source so that overlapping patterns are at different wavelengths; moving source-camera pairs in independent motion patterns; and adjusting the shape of the projected light patterns to minimize overlap. These methods may also be combined in any way. In another embodiment, the system comprises a single source and a mirror system is used to cast the projected structured light pattern around the environment.
