I saw a lot of things like this, some interesting, some absurdly infeasible. Your observations are some the Ubicomp community has raised as well and while I'd be pleasantly surprised if MS resolved some of these very difficult problems, I'm not holding my breath. If you're interested, Adam Greenfield's Everyware (http://www.studies-observations.com/everyware/) is a bit more grounded than what MS showed in that video but quite interesting. I highly recommend it. Even though I’m in games now, my Masters in CS research was in Ubicomp (Ubiquitous Computation). I saw a lot of things like this, some interesting, some absurdly infeasible.
