Microsoft Ready 2019


Last week, Microsoft had their Microsoft Inspire and Microsoft Ready events in Las Vegas.

High light of the event, was demonstration by keynote speaker Microsoft Corporate VP Julia White. It was about a new HoloLens technology developed in collaboration with Azure AI services that produces a full-size hologram of an individual speaking another language.

Her voice was sampled using Azure’s AI tech which converted it to Japanese using Neural-Text-to-Speech; this allowed the Japanese version of her presentation to retain her vocal tone and delivery style.

Demo Video reference is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auJJrHgG9Mc

It is a follow-up technology revealed by Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella, during the core-note session at T-mobile arena on 17 Jul'19. Ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_KxHhAIUXc
