Imagine watching video images of real time traffic of the locations of your choice on your TV before you leave the house for your morning commute.  Imagine 3-D TV for movies, sports, and nature programming in your living room, and still 200-400 premium channels to choose from as well.  Imagine interacting with that programming from your iPhone by throwing virtual tomatoes to appear on the screen or rotating photos for a home slide show.  These are just a few of the technologies that I got to experience firsthand at the AT&T Innovation Center.

Aside from home technologies, the AT&T Innovation Center featured demonstrations of how the company is embracing Second Life, augmented reality on mobile phones, assistive technologies like voice recognition, and so much more.

As you’ll see below in my interview with Dr. David Belanger, AT&T Labs Chief Scientist and Vice President for Information, Software and Systems Research, AT&T is not only bringing broadband to consumers, but an entire array of next generation technologies.  In this interview, Dr. Belanger explains how AT&T scientists work diligently to produce creative and innovative research, tools, and network technologies, which then combine to form the products that consumers enjoy.
