so Julie first of all what's the most exciting thing about this sensor-based era xbox and kinect have been a big part of getting the the vision out there to consumers what should they understand next I just think it's a new start of a new way of computing so we have had a new different kinds of input models that have had inflections in technology like a mouse as but it was a big inflection point touch with a big inflection fight I think voice gesture vision is all starting to come together with the different what's services and technology in devices need the battery life I was doing all those things would be able to some really amazing things now we're seeing some very different designs of products as well because I imagine when things are sensing you need to shape them differently comport them to the user differently what does the millions you've learned through Xbox through surface you've been through this couple times sure there's a lot of devices are trying to be the one size fits all there's the ones that are trying to be unique individual single purpose devices and I think we're all still trying to figure out exactly what it means to be wearable it's gonna be different for everyone I think it's about finding the problems to solve for people and people are all different and so they've made different solutions for different probably fair to say the jury is still out on all in one versus many discrete devices week so when you see the magic of something like you know Fitbit or shine or even when the kindle first came out it was just a single-use purpose device and it captured your imagination and then we started to add more to it and some of the magic kind of goes away after that and so I think as you start to see some of the really interesting ideas no one has really hit yet on the exact you know scenario that's going to make everyone go out and get yeah but it doesn't always have to start with a big bang I think a lot of times technology start says oh you know like the iPhone it's a bad phone but it became something really interesting and a good phone over time so it's not something that's just silly be one big bang let's talk about the services the data comes off these sensing products and then the services we create from them if you could tell the the average user what's the fundamental difference and benefit of having something sense you that's gonna make the services we use better what's the big idea well I think there are many big ideas but one of the ones i think is around authentication is one of the most motorists things about using your device today I mean the pin makes it pretty easy but it's being able to go and you start your car you start to find your key yeah keys have changed we still have keys and then you have a sensor on your keys to find your keys it tells your phone to find review so there's going to be new ways to authenticate that use your personally identifiable information that's private to you so no one else in our open your house or do other things that aren't really about you I think that's an unlock a lot of things for people you know there's a lot of very small T diems that we go through every day it may sound small to unlock your door with a key open your car have to enter that unlock code on your phone but how many hundreds or even thousands of times did we do that a day now do you just access our stuff or bring it back to you know we're talking about Xbox a minute ago the remote right the remote with a magical thing that changed channels and then it got all those inputs for the different things that were connected to your TV and it became an onerous task yeah so finding a CSP nhd was so difficult and now for the invention of new kinds of input models with boys you can say no xbox watch ESPN it'll go right to it more natural natural more elegant intuitive and more about what you're trying to get done unless about just having the capability be in the device you can focus on the end right and not so much on the means right great excellent that's great do yeah perfect thank you very much
