Rocky picked the coolest stuff off of the Microsoft Research TechFest Tour so if you only have 16 minutes, you can see our favorite stuff from the tour (part 1 of the full tour is about an hour long, so we’ve edited it down into three more shorter videos — this is the second part).

Here’s what you’ll find on this shorter version:

1. Matt Uyttendaele shows off HUGE (4 gigapixel or so) photos with a killer “tiling” system that displays them wicked fast.
2. Linking the real world to the Web with pictures (killer camera phone research).
3. Richard Harper demonstrates a bunch of hardware concepts and trials for home users.
