@ S X S W     03 * 16 * 09 

Microsoft is hosting the finale of its national design challenge, PhizzPop, at SxSW on Monday night, March 16^th. You have a special opportunity to attend our exclusive pre-event: Sensorium: Exploring the digital universe with next-generation touch, web, and client interfaces. As traditional methods for targeting customers become less effective, organizations seek to reach their customers with increasingly compelling experiences on the Web, desktop, and devices.   These experiences range from taking advantage of advancements in Natural User Interface, to utilizing the best of the Web – from RIA to Web Services.   The emergence of the Natural User Interface (NUI) is considered by many to be a key milestone in the evolution of human-machine interaction. While its cousin GUI has been widely heralded as one of the prime movers and shakers in bringing computing to the mainstream, NUI is presenting the world with vast new opportunities in making technology more friendly, accessible, and impactful in everyday life. As this market explodes, interactive design and development is being challenged to deliver entirely new classes of interactions with technology. Come and see firsthand how breakthrough computing hardware coupled with software and Web services can fuse the digital universe together with human potential. This event will feature live demonstrations of a number of key components of Microsoft’s next generation experiences - from NUI demonstrations with Microsoft Surface, to web and desktop demos utilizing Live Services.  You will also see Microsoft’s long-term vision of how this technology will interact with the digitally powered environment of tomorrow. We are also offering the opportunity for you to experiment with it yourself and pose questions to subject matter experts. This event is a special invitation-only event at SXSW.  If you would like to learn more about how this technology can benefit both you and your customers, please use the link below to secure your seat today. Those attending may also attend our PhizzPop Finale event occurring immediately following this event.  To learn more about PhizzPop, click here.   Register Here Date: March 16, 2009Time: 5:30 pm- 7:00 pm Pangaea - 409 Colorado StreetAustin, TX 78701512.472.8882
