There was a series of them made from 2009 to 2015. Originally they were intended to show what Microsoft productivity products would look like in 2020.

Here is the first one that I could find, as far as I can tell Microsoft doesn’t distribute them anymore.

The big ideas were that screens would be everywhere, and dedicated animated touch interfaces would be the default computing interface. This motivated the development of the windows 8 and Microsoft surface line of products to at least a certain extent - but looking at the videos it’s clear that nothing remotely like what they show would have been possible/common in 2020.
