Most of us can’t wait for 2016 to end, and researchers at #Microsoft are giving us good reason to think ahead. The company polled 17 women working in its research organization about the technology advances they expect to see in 2017, as well as a decade later in 2027. The researchers’ predictions touch on natural language processing, machine learning, agricultural software, and virtual reality, among other topics. You can check them all out here, but I’ve put some of the most interesting predictions below. Spoiler alert: it’s time for you to start thinking about life after the search bar. For virtual reality, Mar Gonzalez Franco, a researcher in Microsoft’s Redmond lab, believes body tracking will improve next year, and then over the next decade we’ll have “rich multi-sensorial experiences that will be capable of producing hallucinations which blend or alter perceives reality.” Haptic devices will simulate touch to further enhance the sensory experience.
