and today we take the next step in unveiling the windows holographic platform focus on you the dreamers the creators the windows developers so let's get started by taking a tour of Windows holographic now before we start let me explain the setup a little bit Darrin is wearing at hololens and he sees this globe oh we showed you in January ride in his world now we also have this custom camera rig over here so that you can see the Holograms up on these screens as if the camera is wearing a hololens now when we introduced Windows holographic the globe was just a slide today Darren is experiencing it as a universal Windows app and guess what it's running on Windows 10 welcome to Windows holographic this is life with Holograms and as you can see Darren has customized his space instead of digging through menus everything is right where he wants it yeah whether it's Microsoft edge photos or video apps these are simply Universal windows apps though we've placed as Holograms so whether it's a slate on the wall or something a little bit more dimensional like my loyal companion Fang here hey buddy you can customize your space the way you want it now I want to add something to my space so I'm going to pull up my holographic Start menu and I'm going to open up Skype I'm the worst at keeping in touch so I'm going to take the people that matter most to me and I'm going to pin them to this wall right here that way every time I walk into this room I'll see their smiling faces and be inspired to reach out to them we're all creatures of habit and we do different things in different spaces in our homes this stage as an example is modeled after Darren's apartment yeah and this is where I'd hang out in my apartment and surround myself with the applications that I want to axe yes or or just check out for example I'm planning a trip to Hawaii in a couple weeks so I placed this awesome weather app over here so when I'm moving around I can easily glance at at reference it and understand what the weather's going to be like when I get there hopefully still hot then if I look up here on the wall to my left I've got a video player I simply reach out err tap and I'm right in the action know what if Darren has things to do around the house he shouldn't get confined to watching just on one wall you should be able to take his entertainment with him anywhere and remain hands-free as he does it yeah so all I need to say is follow me now wherever I go in my house my entertainment tags along all right and where it gets where I'm going I simply place it and I can scale it as big as I want now that's not something just a video player does every single Universal windows apps has the same capabilities for example I placed a calendar over here because as Alex will tell you I'm late for pretty much every meeting so this makes it a guy like me makes a lot easier for me to just check in and see what I've got coming up next we're discovering uses for Holograms every day we know with all you hear at Bill putting your minds towards it we're going to be discovering new uses every second I hope you have a news Farr anytime it build will see you out there Thank You Darren
