This presentation given at the TEDx- Rainer this past December discusses several different technologies Microsoft Research is utilizing to better provide data visualization to the world.
While the term "GIS" is never directly used during the presentation, it is apparent in every aspect of what they are doing. However sometimes this little fact can be overlooked, with non GIS-professionals not realizing that the data and tools which they are using are being powered behind the scenes by GIS nor the complexities involved in creating some of the products which are available everyday because of the work of data custodians, database administrators, analysts, and many other geospatial professionals. Make sure to highlight these behind the scenes facts to your coworkers, peers, and decision makers to help them better understand the power of what we do.
