Making your social world accessible in real-time, the FUSE Labs team is dedicated to creating experiences that connect you to the people, information and people that matter to you.
Microsoft Future Social Experiences (FUSE) Labs is a social experiences incubator within Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie's organization. Working in partnership with product and research teams across Microsoft, FUSE Labs explores and delivers new social, real-time, and media-rich experiences for home and work. These experiences give users new ways to create, connect and collaborate with the people, information and ideas that matter to them.

FUSE Labs works on a variety of projects. Recent efforts include: Kodu, a visual programming language for creating games; Twitter integration into Bing and Bing Maps. Each of these projects showcases how the use of strong data analytics, simple approaches to complex UI challenges, and integrating social experiences can help connect users in powerful ways.
