Microsoft’s Research team is always coming up with something new and exiciting and this time they have come up with an idea called “SketchInsight.” SketchInsight is simply an interactive whiteboard system used for storytelling and you can use real-time sketching as the data. You can create personalized and expressive data charts with ease. The idea is simple, you simply sketch an example and SketchInsight automatically completes the chart by synthesizing data from example sketches. Pretty cool stuff. Check out the showcase video below.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
