UK DPE WPF WMF

microsoft,

Beyond this truly epic acronym is a video done by the Microsoft UK DPE team about WPF and corporation between designers and developers in practice. Since I am dealing with WPF for a while I also looked at Microsoft Expression Blend which is coming soon.

“The UK MCS User Experience team and a number of UK partners have been working on WPF for over 12 months and this Real World WPF series is intended to show some of their work and capture/share some of their learnings. Nick Page talks to Martin Grayson and Paul Tallett from the UK MCS User Experience team about their experiences working on real world WPF applications and specifically how Designers and Developers have worked together on these projects.”

Microsoft Announces Robotics Studio

Finally, I can tell it, Tandy Trower and his team have announced the Microsoft Robotic Studio. Last time I have seen it in early spring, some parts of the tool have been already very impressing. Finally, I am looking forward for the final release.

Beside this the Robot magazine gives a first impression of the Robotics Studio and some first screenshots of the upcoming Simulator. Furthermore the Carnegie Mellon University starts a new program supported by the Robotics Group from Redmond. Meanwhile, there is also a Channel 9 video of almost one hour available.

VRDK

microsoft,

We are still working with the VRDK at Microsoft Reseach, Cambridge. During the last few months I gave several talks, introducing the VRDK to a wider range of audience. Finally, a lot of people asked me if and when we will release it. Unfortunately, it is not a product rather a research platform.

However, I checked the web and found some articles and weblog entries about the VRDK, written when it was presented to the public the first time.
