Surface Studio and Windows 10, Microsoft focuses on 3D and on the desktop – GQ.com

Creativity and mixed-reality. These are the two key pillars that Microsoft will look to establish its own development, both of Windows 10 that the hardware side. Those who were wondering (from time to time) when the Redmond company would have the built-in Hololens in the architecture of your operating system has finally found all the answers in the Creators Update, coming in march 2017: an update of the 10, which aims to merge Windows Holographic in the screens and in the app of the more than 400 million users around the world. Microsoft has shown an iota of the future of holograms, greater connectivity between people and a lot of ga ming: increasingly workhorse of the company, thanks to the success of Xbox One’s. But, above all, showed the first desktop computer designed by the company founded by Bill Gates, Surface Studio, and an update of the Book, which will have more power and better technical characteristics. “We wanted to offer our users the possibility to use new tools to create, express themselves and share their thoughts, which is what makes us human,” he says on the stage of New York chief executive officer Satya Nadella.

If the strategy of Redmond here was to regain ground in the mobile environment, focusing on the app and on the cloud, now the battle has moved to the third dimension and the business segment, in anticipation of a breath Apple, who will present tomorrow the new MacBook and iMac. Riding on the idea of a world constantly connected and able to work or play on any device, Nadella went further, raising the hypothesis that this could be done in three dimensions, leaving free space to the imagination between the holograms and the new visors cheap for augmented reality and virtual: in arrival by the partners (HP, Dell, Lenovo, Asus and Acer) for a cost of $ 299.
