Sensor kits including Microsoft's next-generation depth camera
This morning, Microsoft also announced the launch of Project Kinect for Azure, a suite of sensors that includes Microsoft's next-generation depth camera and the ability to perform artificial intelligence calculations in edge environments.
According to reports, Project Kinect for Azure can help developers make better use of environmental intelligence to create a variety of applications, including a variety of sensors including Microsoft Time of Flight (TOF) depth sensors integrated into small, low-power devices In the data, it shows that it can track the movement of all hand joints and draw high-resolution spatial maps, which will make a more accurate solution possible.
Microsoft wants to leverage the power of data, machine learning, and cognitive intelligence to enable developers to build and manage solutions with built-in artificial intelligence.
They also bring some developer tools for this.
1. The Voice Device Development Kit (SDK) released today provides advanced sound processing for multi-channel sources, enabling more accurate speech recognition, including noise reduction, far-field sound recognition, etc.
Second, Azure Cosmos DB upgrade has added a global scale asynchronous multi-master database to support cloud and edge deployment, and deployment in the official commercial VNET will bring better security;
Third, Project Brainwave open preview, this architecture for deep neural network processing can be used in Azure and edge environments. Project Brainwave makes Azure the fastest cloud platform for running artificial intelligence in real time;
4. The update of Azure's cognitive services includes a unified voice service;
5. The latest upgrades to the Bot Framework and cognitive services will bring richer dialogue, more complete personality and sound customization to the next generation of dialogue robots.
It must be said that Microsoft is working hard to make Azure the best development platform for artificial intelligence dialogue.
Multi-sensor and multi-device experience brings new features to mixed reality
At the scene, Microsoft also talked about the upgrade of mixed-reality technology. Similarly, Microsoft's new Project Kinect for Azure, which we just talked about, is a set of sensors including Microsoft's time-of-flight camera, which can help developers. Make better use of environmental intelligence to create a variety of application scenarios.
In addition, Microsoft Remote Assist users can remotely collaborate through head-on, hands-free video calls, image sharing, and mixed-reality annotations; with Microsoft Layout, users can spatially design in a mixed reality with real-world environments. By importing a 3D model, you can create a real-sized room, and then you can experience the actual effect of the design through holographic images in real-world physical space or in a world of complete virtual reality, and with others. Share and change these designs together in real time.
It is foreseeable that these upgrades will bring more possibilities to Hololens.
Microsoft wants to be a more open company
Microsoft also wants to empower developers to build new applications across Azure, Microsoft 365 and other platforms using the language and framework of their choice.
It is understood that the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) released today can greatly simplify the process of developers building and running container-based solutions without extensive Kubernetes configuration experience; Visual Studio IntelliCode is an artificial intelligence capability to enhance daily life. New features for software development efficiency; Visual Studio Live Share now offers previews that make it easier and safer for developers to collaborate with team members in real time, and other members can use their existing tools like Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio Code edits and debugs the code directly.
In addition, based on the mutual commitment of both developers and the open source community, Microsoft announced a new partnership with GitHub to bring Azure development and operation integrated online service capabilities to GitHub users. Today, the integration of Visual Studio App Center and GitHub is released. GitHub developers can experience the automated development and operation process that seamlessly integrates with GitHub when developing mobile applications for iOS, Android, Windows and macOS devices.
At the Build conference, Microsoft also allows developers to flexibly choose their favorite programming language and framework for development and design. Microsoft 365 will also bring new opportunities for developers. Microsoft announced a series of upgrades for Microsoft 365. Bring a different experience, especially for developers.
Microsoft's open source platform's current "friends circle"
More than just serving more developers, the information released by Microsoft is more open, and they hope to work with more partners to develop technologies such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence.
