1 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 >>Nathan: When you build features for people that have a range of abilities, you 2 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 end up making something that works for everybody. 3 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 >>Kelly: For me, one of the amazing things even today, after 15 years of Microsoft, is 4 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 how we're inventing new experiences. >>Brett: When we sat down, we're focusing 5 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 on using vision or no vision, we decided really, we need to work on performance. 6 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 To start narrating, we're going to go down to the Windows key and press enter. 7 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 >>Computer: Windows. Start Windows. Search box. [indistinct] 8 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 >>Kelly: So right now, we're at about 80% of capacity upon entering co-speak. 9 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 This is about how I would use my computer >>Computer: [indistinct] 10 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 >>Kelly: That probably sounds like gibberish, but, I mean, once you get used 11 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 this, it's pretty clear. >>Brett: One of the things that we spend 12 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 a lot of time looking at is how do you really help develop or be immersed in what 13 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 it means to be blind. We built in the developing mode a narrator. 14 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 >>Computer: Cancel. Shift. Developer mode enabled. 15 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 >>Brett: So you can see that we've ordered the screen so we press H to jump to the 16 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 first heading. >>Computer: Heading level 1 Go to Bing 17 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 homepage. Brett: And it will kind of immerse you in 18 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 what it feels like to not see right. >>Computer: Click down to change to 19 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 suggestions view. >>Kelly: Across many applications, when 20 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 you're typing, whether it's weather, news, Cortana, you're getting search suggestions. 21 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 >>Computer: Fond du Lac, one of one, selected. 22 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 >>Kelly: It's the first time that we're building that level of accessibility into 23 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 both our screen and our applications. >>Anne: I'm going to flag this message 24 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 >>Computer: Contact delete button. Move button. Save Flag mode. 25 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 >>Nathan: Xbox looked closely at how we can diversify how people represent 26 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 themselves. And so, we can see a new set of avatars so that somebody can select 27 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 an avatar that looks more closely to themselves. 28 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 >>Charles: So with Windows 10, we actually really wanted to do our part and make 29 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 accessibility great. >>Computer: Enter. Of. 30 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 >>Sean: Whether they need a screen reader, whether it's high contrast, whether it's 31 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 keyboard only. >>Computer: Add level 3. Draggable. 32 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 >>Yan: It was really about making it more use-able and more intuitive for all of our 33 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 users. >>Nathan: So in the future, I think the 34 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 key is really matching the ability of the technology to the ability of the person, 35 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so everybody can participate. [music] 36 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 [applause] 37 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 >>Terry: Hello. Thank you. Thanks so much for being with us here today. You know, 38 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I've seen that video a few times now, and every single time I watch it, I feel so 39 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 lucky to be part of this tech industry because what unites all of us is this 40 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 driving belief that technology can actually serve each of us. The triumph of 41 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 truly human-led design, like you just saw, is that each of us gets to reap the 42 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 benefits of technology, that each of us is included and welcome, and that each of us 43 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 can make our mark on the world. I'm so incredibly proud of our team for throwing 44 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 their personal passion, their experience, and their very best creativity into each 45 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 success and new innovation. At Microsoft, we challenge each of our software 46 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 developers and hardware designers, each of our artists and audio team, each of our 47 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 production and quality designers to deliver our mission: to empower every 48 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. I'm Terry Myerson 49 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and I lead the Windows and Devices team of Microsoft, and I'm so excited to show you 50 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 what we've been working on. When we think about the billion people all around world 51 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 using Windows, we realize each of us is so multi-dimensional. Each of us has 52 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 different interests and talent, careers and goals. Each of us is multi-layered. 53 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Think about yourself. You may be a gym rat and a gamer, a student and a 54 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 professional, an artist and an architect, a fantasy football player and a soccer 55 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 dad. You might be someone who invents solutions that assure accessity, or makes 56 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 art out of this driving need to make the world a better place. What unites all of 57 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 us is that we are creators of our individual lives. As creators, we need 58 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 technology that spans all facets of our lives, with work and play. And we're truly 59 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 inspired by every person using our products. Consider Sief. He's a college 60 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 freshman in Bangladesh, a computer programmer, a cyclist, and a total 61 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Windows 10 super fan. I mean, seriously, when Sief was just 15 years old, he joins 62 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 the Windows Insiders program and starts emailing me daily with his ideas for how 63 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 to improve Windows. So, I wasn't surprised that just recently, he and his two 64 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 classmates just used their Surface and Windows 10 laptops to enter the United 65 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Nations Shake it Out contest to help people in the earthquake-prone areas in 66 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 India. These are creators who are using technology to build a better world for all 67 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 of us. Or, consider Carrie. She's a 10-year-old girl, a soccer player, a gamer 68 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and a cancer survivor. Her father reached out to us on LinkedIn and shared that 69 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Xbox was a brilliant part of her recuperation. She didn't just play Xbox1 70 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 to occupy herself. She played Fifa, Forza, Minecraft with her friends to strengthen 71 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 her friendships while recovering from her treatment. This is a creator who is 72 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 building a community with technology. And then there's Pearson Education. A textbook 73 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 publisher and a pioneer in personalized learning. So Pearson is using Microsoft 74 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 hololens, the world's first fully self-contained holographic computer to 75 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 create cutting edge programs that span education of high school students in 76 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 science to training nurses on holographic patients. This is a creator who is 77 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 building revolutionary new ways to to educate all types of students. So 78 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 however many layers represent you, whatever hats you wear, wherever you work, 79 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 wherever you refuel yourself, we build Windows to be your place to create and 80 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 play. Windows is your think tank, your office, your studio. It's your archive, 81 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 gallery, workshop. It's your arena. It's your sanctuary, and above all, Windows 82 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 is your kitchen table where everything just gets done. With Windows, we want to 83 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 create real depth at both ends of the human experience, how we work, and how 84 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 we play, alone and together. With the initial voices of Windows 10, we began 85 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 laying the foundation with Windows Ink, Pen, with Windows Holographic and 86 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Hololins, with Xbox on Windows 10. And because we understand that your 87 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 information is digital treasure in this online world, we'll be continuously 88 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 updating Windows to secure your identity, your information, and your devices. Today, 89 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 we are so humbled by you, the over 400 million people that are now using Widnows 90 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 10. That's over 600 people who chose Windows 10 every minute of every hour of 91 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 every day for the last year, and have spent over 200 billion hours of their 92 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 lives on Windows 10. That's as if there's been a 500% increase in gaming on Windows 93 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 10, and there are now 3 times as many developers building apps for Windows 10. 94 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And because we're so inspired by Sief, Carrie, Pearson, and countless other 95 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 creators who rely on Windows 10, we've set an even bolder ambition: 15 months and 96 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 400 million users later, we are going to multiply your productivity with 97 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 creativity. We're going to magnify gaming with state-of-the-art 98 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 competitions. So, today, I'm so excited to announce the next release of Windows 10 99 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 that will ship this coming spring, for free, to every Windows 10 device, whether 100 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 you own one now, or buy a great new one this holiday, you're going to find 101 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 unparalleled new ways to create and play. You're going to find new experiences 102 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 that place your most important people right at the center of your digital life, 103 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and you're going to find new experiences for the creator in everyone. And that is 104 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 why we have named this release the Windows 10 Creators Update. 105 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 [applause] 106 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Now, as much as I wanted to show you everything in the update, there's just too 107 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 much innovation to walk through this morning, so we're going to focus on the 108 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 three most important areas in the Creators update. First, we're expanding our vision 109 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 for mixed reality, which includes virtual reality, augmented reality, and 110 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 holographic computing, with 3D for everyone. So each of us can create, share, 111 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and experience 3D and mixed reality. Second, gamers can experience the best 112 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 of orkay gaming in any game broadcasting. And third, everyone will have a faster way 113 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 to connect and share with the people who matter most - their family, their friends, 114 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 their collaborators, and fellow gamers. Let's take a look at the first - 115 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 empowering everyone to be a 3D creator. Microsoft Office on Windows has always 116 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 stood for helping you be your most productive self. We're the silent partner, 117 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 always working in the background, so you can get the work that matters the most 118 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 done. Today, for most of us, productivity is defined by 2D emails, documents, 119 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 spreadsheets, and slides. We think in 2D. We grew up with 2D color by numbers. We 120 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 output 2D. Yet, the next generation is growing up with 3D right from the start. 121 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Last month, I attended Minecon, our annual Minecraft event with 14,000 122 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 attendees. I watched thousands of kids interact fluently with their 3D Minecraft 123 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 world, editing in 3D with ease, moving around in 3D world as naturally as we 124 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 scroll through a document. With the Creator's update, we asked ourselves, 125 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 "What can Windows do to unleash the 3D creator within each of us? How can we 126 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 help you use 3D to think new thoughts? To gain new insights? To accelerate new 127 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 learning?"
