SEATTLE: With its Windows 10 being used by a a record 500 million devices globally, IT giant Microsoft today announced an update of the operating system designed to set the stage for the next “wave of creativity.”
Announced during the ongoing annual developers conference Build 2017, Microsoft said the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update would be available later this year.
“A new design system for the next wave of creativity across devices; experiences that move with you across Windows, iOS, and Android; Spotify, SAP Digital Boardroom are coming to the Windows Store; new tools that make Windows home for all developers; and the world’s first Windows Mixed Reality motion controllers – no markers required,” said Terry Myerson, executive vice president Windows and Devices Group.
Unveiling a new creative app, Myerson said this automatically brings memories – photos and videos – together to create stories with a soundtrack, theme and cinematic transitions.
“You can also create mixed reality by adding 3D objects to your photos and videos to tell stories in a whole new way, or turn your photos and videos into your canvas, drawing on them with Windows Ink,” he said in his key note address to the thousands of developers gathered here from across the globe.
For people using multiple devices, Myerson said Microsoft Fluent Design System will deliver intuitive, harmonious, responsive and inclusive cross-device experiences and interactions.
“For developers, Fluent Design is built to help you create more expressive and engaging apps that work across a wide range of device and input diversity,” he added. (AGENCIES)
