Microsoft Research attended the Photokina trade fair in Cologne, Germany at the end of September to present Microsoft Research AutoCollage 2008 to the public. A very successful week was had at the Microsoft booth, as more than 169,000 visitors passed through the doors in 6 days at one of the largest fairs dedicated to photography and imaging in the world.

AutoCollage attracted positive attention from all visitors, with many comments about the excellent and unique collages that the product can create. Strong interest in the use of this product was indicated by many of the attendees, with album cover collages and image set overviews being regular topics of conversation. Some visitors were already users of either the demo version or the full version of AutoCollage and their feedback about the usability and results of the product was not only good but also very useful to us as we consider the possibility of enhancements for any future versions.

Look out for coverage coming up on Channel 10 of AutoCollage and also some of the other Microsoft and Microsoft Research products that were shown at the trade fair.
