>>Nathan: When you build features for people that have a range of abilities, you
end up making something that works for everybody.
>>Kelly: For me, one of the amazing things even today, after 15 years of Microsoft, is
how we're inventing new experiences. >>Brett: When we sat down, we're focusing
on using vision or no vision, we decided really, we need to work on performance.
To start narrating, we're going to go down to the Windows key and press enter.
>>Computer: Windows. Start Windows. Search box. [indistinct]
>>Kelly: So right now, we're at about 80% of capacity upon entering co-speak.
This is about how I would use my computer >>Computer: [indistinct]
>>Kelly: That probably sounds like gibberish, but, I mean, once you get used
this, it's pretty clear. >>Brett: One of the things that we spend
a lot of time looking at is how do you really help develop or be immersed in what
it means to be blind. We built in the developing mode a narrator.
>>Computer: Cancel. Shift. Developer mode enabled.
>>Brett: So you can see that we've ordered the screen so we press H to jump to the
first heading. >>Computer: Heading level 1 Go to Bing
homepage. Brett: And it will kind of immerse you in
what it feels like to not see right. >>Computer: Click down to change to
suggestions view. >>Kelly: Across many applications, when
you're typing, whether it's weather, news, Cortana, you're getting search suggestions.
>>Computer: Fond du Lac, one of one, selected.
>>Kelly: It's the first time that we're building that level of accessibility into
both our screen and our applications. >>Anne: I'm going to flag this message
>>Computer: Contact delete button. Move button. Save Flag mode.
>>Nathan: Xbox looked closely at how we can diversify how people represent
themselves. And so, we can see a new set of avatars so that somebody can select
an avatar that looks more closely to themselves.
>>Charles: So with Windows 10, we actually really wanted to do our part and make
accessibility great. >>Computer: Enter. Of.
>>Sean: Whether they need a screen reader, whether it's high contrast, whether it's
keyboard only. >>Computer: Add level 3. Draggable.
>>Yan: It was really about making it more use-able and more intuitive for all of our
users. >>Nathan: So in the future, I think the
key is really matching the ability of the technology to the ability of the person,
so everybody can participate. [music]
[applause]
>>Terry: Hello. Thank you. Thanks so much for being with us here today. You know,
I've seen that video a few times now, and every single time I watch it, I feel so
lucky to be part of this tech industry because what unites all of us is this
driving belief that technology can actually serve each of us. The triumph of
truly human-led design, like you just saw, is that each of us gets to reap the
benefits of technology, that each of us is included and welcome, and that each of us
can make our mark on the world. I'm so incredibly proud of our team for throwing
their personal passion, their experience, and their very best creativity into each
success and new innovation. At Microsoft, we challenge each of our software
developers and hardware designers, each of our artists and audio team, each of our
production and quality designers to deliver our mission: to empower every
person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. I'm Terry Myerson
and I lead the Windows and Devices team of Microsoft, and I'm so excited to show you
what we've been working on. When we think about the billion people all around world
using Windows, we realize each of us is so multi-dimensional. Each of us has
different interests and talent, careers and goals. Each of us is multi-layered.
Think about yourself. You may be a gym rat and a gamer, a student and a
professional, an artist and an architect, a fantasy football player and a soccer
dad. You might be someone who invents solutions that assure accessity, or makes
art out of this driving need to make the world a better place. What unites all of
us is that we are creators of our individual lives. As creators, we need
technology that spans all facets of our lives, with work and play. And we're truly
inspired by every person using our products. Consider Sief. He's a college
freshman in Bangladesh, a computer programmer, a cyclist, and a total
Windows 10 super fan. I mean, seriously, when Sief was just 15 years old, he joins
the Windows Insiders program and starts emailing me daily with his ideas for how
to improve Windows. So, I wasn't surprised that just recently, he and his two
classmates just used their Surface and Windows 10 laptops to enter the United
Nations Shake it Out contest to help people in the earthquake-prone areas in
India. These are creators who are using technology to build a better world for all
of us. Or, consider Carrie. She's a 10-year-old girl, a soccer player, a gamer
and a cancer survivor. Her father reached out to us on LinkedIn and shared that
Xbox was a brilliant part of her recuperation. She didn't just play Xbox1
to occupy herself. She played Fifa, Forza, Minecraft with her friends to strengthen
her friendships while recovering from her treatment. This is a creator who is
building a community with technology. And then there's Pearson Education. A textbook
publisher and a pioneer in personalized learning. So Pearson is using Microsoft
hololens, the world's first fully self-contained holographic computer to
create cutting edge programs that span education of high school students in
science to training nurses on holographic patients. This is a creator who is
building revolutionary new ways to to educate all types of students. So
however many layers represent you, whatever hats you wear, wherever you work,
wherever you refuel yourself, we build Windows to be your place to create and
play. Windows is your think tank, your office, your studio. It's your archive,
gallery, workshop. It's your arena. It's your sanctuary, and above all, Windows
is your kitchen table where everything just gets done. With Windows, we want to
create real depth at both ends of the human experience, how we work, and how
we play, alone and together. With the initial voices of Windows 10, we began
laying the foundation with Windows Ink, Pen, with Windows Holographic and
Hololins, with Xbox on Windows 10. And because we understand that your
information is digital treasure in this online world, we'll be continuously
updating Windows to secure your identity, your information, and your devices. Today,
we are so humbled by you, the over 400 million people that are now using Widnows
10. That's over 600 people who chose Windows 10 every minute of every hour of
every day for the last year, and have spent over 200 billion hours of their
lives on Windows 10. That's
