The video gives a brief glimpse of what Microsoft has imagined will be mainstream technology by 2019. Some of the technologies previewed in the video include intriguing stuff like a "transparent wall" between two classrooms located at distinct locations - across the globe in some cases. Then there were the animated drawings, and of course, surface displays and mini projectors.

Envision how emerging technologies, evolving trends, and global change might come together to improve our lives at work and home across multiple real life scenarios.

While this might be dismissed by some as a creation of a touchscreen obsessed person, it sure is an interesting watch. It remains to be seen how many of these technologies will actually make be a reality. But yes, its worth having a look at so that you can at least have a good laugh on it in 2019 when some of these might look very lame.
