Microsoft Origami Project Infomation

Posted on 28 February 2006, Last updated on 08 January 2015 by

Information has recently been posted online about a website at http://www.origamiproject.com

This is creating a lot of hype and has people wondering what the product is. Currently there is info on the web that makes it look like a PSP/Ipod competitor.

So far all of the info about Microsoft’s Origami Project is based on info from a design firm called Digital Kitchen who released a video on their website with information about the design.

The video was taken down from their website shortly after people started linking to it from technology websites. However, Origami Portal was able to get the video and archive it here


Microsoft has acknowledged that the video is in fact real, they released a statement saying, “While Origami is a concept we’ve been working on with partners, please know that the video seen on Digital Kitchen’s Web site is a year old and represents our initial exploration into this form factor, including possible uses and scenarios.”

The videos shows interesting uses including maps, pictures, note taking and game playing. In one scene it shows a guy playing Halo on the device which means it must have specs closer to handheld notebooks than a simple PDA.

There are more pictures and videos that keep coming in from different sites. As more images and info come, Origami Portal will make sure all of it is covered here.
