Google Poaches Blaise Agüera From Microsoft, The Man Behind Photosynth, Bing Maps And More
Just few days back Blaise Agüera from Microsoft gave us a demo of the upcoming Photosynth technology TED. Sad news is that he has left to Google. NYTimes today reported that he has left the company to join its rival Google. Blaise and his team worked on some unknown augmented reality, wearable computing and natural user interfaces projects at Microsoft. Publicly we know that Blaise Agüera was working on Photosynth, Bing Maps and Bing Mobile. NYTimes reported that Agüera y Arcas will work on machine learning at Google. Microsoft on its part commented the following, “He was a great colleague and we wish him the best in his future endeavors.” People come and go at Microsoft all the time. But losing someone like Blaise to Google will really hurt Microsoft. Source: NYTimeshttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/msftnws/~4/bpJev-Qkfgc
