so let's take a look at how portability of experiences enabled by Windows 10 can change the way makers like you interact with the physical things that you build and to show us mixing holograms with IOT please help me welcome on stage my very good friend Miko Miko I'd like you to meet b15 this year millions of people we use maker kits like this one to enter robot competitions and learn about electronics many of them will use Raspberry Pi 2 which now supports Windows 10 IOT core we were inspired to see what we could do with the same hardware and hololens so let me show you b15 wake up up say hello to the real b15 because every Windows 10 device has api's for human and environment understanding we were able to overlay a holographic robot on top of a physical one and one thing we noticed while working is you need your data to be easily accessible but adding this place of this frame increases your cost and there's no way to see all that information at once so let me show you how we check on our data b15 control panel this facial UI system is a universal Windows app I'm pulling the data from b15 making it as big as I need it to be and placing it where it's relevant in my world and I love it that miko didn't have to actually go back to her desk to do it this is a great example of how Windows 10 makes your digital life more powerful by connecting it with your real life that's right you can waste a lot of time tweaking variables on another device before you test but if all I need to do is something simple like change LED color I can use a control scheme like this so that's how we envision controls and displays evolving with Holograms now so we need us your robots need to find paths safely through their workspaces let's take a look at how Miko can help be 15 and navigate and how Holograms can help so be 15 sensors aren't great at detecting obstacles but the cool thing is they don't have to be my hololens can communicate that information b15 pathfinding mode now with Windows holographic we can scan an environment we can cue up movement tasks and visualize the robots path so all I have to do is err tap the ground my hololens interprets the 3d points and tells b15 when to turn and when to move forward now this is a great example of how portable our Windows experiences can be if it didn't have to know its environment the room understanding comes from Windows holographic but what happens when the environment actually changes that's no problem because I'm wearing Holland I'm always aware of b15 I can see it updated its route to go around you and this is critical if you're working with bigger robots like those in automotive manufacturing you need to always be aware of a robot's intentions hololens helps developers understand robots better at any scale or in any scenario this is just amazing thank you so much miko and nice to meet you be 15 be 15 say goodbye see you later Alex later guys
