RoboCop & The Future of Search (at Bing)
That was the challenge put before Bing by Sony Pictures who asked the search engine to come up with a concept for search in the not-too-distant future that would be showcased in the new RoboCop film.Bing set out to create an interface for the search engine that was true to the RoboCop story and technology innovations on the horizon, but which was still still grounded in today’s reality. For example, Bing is working on voice recognition, image recognition, dimensional displays and other “natural user inputs” like gestures and eye gaze – all fascinating technologies on their own. Bing also wanted to address arguably the more important elements of understanding user intent and reducing search result clutter.
