I wanted to share and interesting research project that the fine folks at Microsoft Research have been working on called InkSeine. As they say:
InkSeine is a prototype ink application from Microsoft Research.It is designed from the ground up to have a user interface uniquely tailored to pen input.
I have seen this a couple time at the Microsoft Techfest that Microsoft hosts so employees can see a lot of the cool technology coming from Microsoft Research (here in Redmond, Cambridge UK, India & Asia). They have taken an interesting twist on using a Tablet with ink, UI interface and search integration. I would recommend checking it out, you can download it and try it out on your computer. Also you can check out a video of it in action:
Looks nice... Can we expect any of this stuff in the next OneNote?
It looks to me like they're reprising OneNote. There are some interesting ideas there, but I don't see the point of a separate product.
Yeap, just looks like half of one-note with better ink/gesture support. These features would do better in one note, imo.
Those of us who have been long-time tablet users and OneNote users deserve to see this integrated into OneNote, as the functionality is brilliant. I know you can't say if you're considering this, but tell me anyway!
So, does this Research Team interface with the OneNote Team? I hope so. I especially hope that the InkSeine features can be folded into OneNote! Are they compatible, or are we re-inventing the wheel?
