Visual relational discovery engine
While at Microsoft I worked on a number of exciting projects dealing with "Intelligent Agents" (personalized AI services). For this project I was looking for a way to playfully engage with users to explore and discover unexpected connections between different topics or media. An initiative for the company at the time was to build Natural User Interface experience, or NUI, that would drive more interest and engagement for tablets, phones and touch enabled laptops.
The project began a study of aggregating all relevant data from across application into a single representational space that could show relevance and relational associations. We called this project "Ego" and could see the power of breaking the silos that fragment our computing experience. While the concept was exciting, it wasn't feasible. But this led to some very interesting conceptual ideas which led to a patent.
