Microsoft Research recently opened the doors to its research and development facility in Cambridge and silicon.com went along to take a look at the technology being worked on - from augmented reality and Microsoft's Surface technology, to making disk drives more efficient.

The picture above shows technology from the Core Tools for Augmented Reality project which is aimed at adding visual information to real-world surroundings.

The screen on the camera shows information about the building that it's facing such as its address and the businesses that are inside.
