Microsoft has sponsored RoboCup 2007 in Atlanta and will host competitive soccer matches using the Microsoft Robotics Studio. The matches are simulation-based and will be hosted within the Microsoft Robotics Studio physics-based 3D simulation environment which uses the licensed PhysX?„? engine from AGEIA?„? Technologies Inc.

While this contest will demonstrate a competitive simulation environment, Microsoft is also working with robot manufacturers developing hardware for RoboCup to demonstrate how easily player competition software can be transferred to physical robots.

There’s a special type of recording called binaural recording where you use two microphones and a two-track recorder, but place the microphones in a head???‚???shaped enclosure right where the ears would normally be. The result is generally pretty realistic as far as spatial rendition.There’s a slightly more advanced version called holophonic recording, invented by Italian Hugo Zuccarelli, where he uses an interference pattern and mixes the sound with a barely audible reference signal.

RunAs Radio is a weekly Internet Audio Talk Show for IT Professionals working with Microsoft products. The full range of IT topics is covered from a Microsoft-centric viewpoint.

A Wiki is an online collaboration tool - a web site where the pages can be changed and published instantly using only a web browser (no programming knowledge required). Pages are automatically created and linked to each other.

A Wiki is a collaborative open content discussion. What does this mean?

• It’s collaborative because it relies on contributions from its readers - the more the better!

• It’s ‘open content’ because anyone can make a contribution to the site’s content.

It allows anyone to improve a web page, and it removes the limitation of the Web as a one-sided communication medium.
