DJI and Microsoft will also use Azure IOTEdge and Microsoft AI services to collaborate on solutions for agriculture, the construction industry, public safety, and more.

At the same time, Microsoft announced that it has collaborated with Qualcomm to create a visual artificial intelligence development kit running AzureIoTEdge. Developers can use Azure Machine Learning Services and hardware acceleration of Qualcomm's visual intelligence platform and Qualcomm artificial intelligence engine to develop application solutions. The camera can also be used. For more advanced Azure services, such as machine learning, flow analysis, and cognitive services, and can be downloaded from the cloud to the edge environment and run locally.

Sensor suite including Microsoft's new generation of depth cameras

Early this morning, Microsoft also announced the launch of Project Kinectfor Azure, a suite of sensors that includes Microsoft's next-generation depth camera, and the ability to perform artificial intelligence calculations in an edge environment.

According to reports, ProjectKinectforAzure can help developers to better use environmental intelligence to create a variety of application scenarios, including a variety of sensors including Microsoft's time of flight (TOF) depth sensor integrated in the small size, low power consumption devices, data The display, which can track the movement of all hand joints, can also draw high-definition spatial maps that will make more accurate solutions possible.

ProjectKinectforAzure

Microsoft hopes to give full play to the power of data, machine learning, and cognitive intelligence, allowing developers to build and manage solutions with built-in artificial intelligence.

They also bring some developer tools for this.

First, the Voice Device Development Kit (SDK) released today can provide advanced sound processing for multi-channel sound sources to achieve more accurate speech recognition effects, including noise reduction, far-field sound recognition, etc.

Second, the AzureCosmosDB upgrade has joined the globally-aware asynchronous multi-master database, which supports cloud and edge deployments, and VNET, which is deployed in commercial applications, will bring better security;

Third, ProjectBrainwave open preview, this architecture for deep neural network processing can be used for Azure and edge environment. ProjectBrainwave makes Azure the fastest cloud platform for running artificial intelligence in real time;

Fourth, Azure awareness service updates include a unified voice service;

Fifth, the latest upgrade of Botframework and cognitive services will bring a richer dialogue, more complete personality and sound customization capabilities to a new generation of dialogue robots.

It has to be said that Microsoft is working hard to make Azure the best development platform for artificial intelligence conversations.

Multi-sensor and multi-device experience brings new capabilities for mixed reality

At the scene, Microsoft also talked about the upgrade of mixed reality technology many times. Similarly, the new Microsoft ProjectKinect for Azure that we just talked about is a set of sensor suites that include the Microsoft time-of-flight camera, which can help developers better Use environment intelligence to create a variety of application scenarios.

In addition, with Microsoft RemoteAssist, users can realize remote collaboration through visually visible, hands-free video calls, image sharing, and mixed reality annotations. With Microsoft Layout, users can combine space and design with real-world environments in mixed reality. Just import 3D models to create real-size rooms, and then you can experience the actual effects of design through holographic images in real-world physical space or in the complete virtual reality world. Share and change these designs together in real time.

Predictably, these upgrades will bring more possibilities to Hololens.

Microsoft wants to be a more open company

Microsoft also hopes to empower developers to use their chosen language and framework to build new applications across Azure, Microsoft 365 and other platforms.

It is understood that the release of Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) today can greatly simplify the process of building and running container-based solutions without the need for extensive Kubernetes configuration experience. VisualStudio IntelliCode is an artificial intelligence capability to improve the efficiency of daily software development. New features; VisualStudioLiveShare now provides previews that allow developers to collaborate more easily and securely with team members in real time, and other members can use their existing tools such as VisualStudio2017 and VisualStudioCode to directly edit and debug the code.

In addition, based on the joint commitment of both parties to developers and the open source community, Microsoft announced that it has reached a new cooperation with GitHub to bring Azure's integrated online service capabilities to GitHub users. The integration of VisualStudio AppCenter and GitHub was announced today. GitHub developers can experience the automated development and maintenance process that seamlessly interfaces with GitHub when developing mobile applications for iOS, Android, Windows and macOS devices.

At the Build conference, Microsoft also allowed developers the flexibility to choose their favorite programming language and framework for development and design. Microsoft 365 will also bring new opportunities for developers. Microsoft has announced that it will bring a series of upgrades to Microsoft 365. Different experiences, especially for developers.
