Our latest Microsoft Garage project puts a new twist on 3D charts

Today, the Microsoft Garage launches a new data visualization tool for PC and Surface Hub. Charts 3D, a Microsoft Garage project, leverages the Universal Windows Platform to empower storytellers to better visualize and explain complex graphs and charts. Presenters can illustrate their key point with a more immersive, interactive 3D object. The Gap Between Data Crunching and Data Storytelling We’ve….

Ready, set, go! Microsoft’s annual Hackathon is in full swing

Last year, more than 18,000 people across 400 cities and 75 countries came together to bring world-changing new ideas to life at Microsoft’s annual Hackathon, now celebrating its fifth year. Every year, Hackathon takes on new and greater challenges. Last year, artificial intelligence (AI) emerged as the hot hack theme. This year, the energy around AI continues, as well as….

Vancouver Garage Interns help BC Cancer Foundation research cancer by using holograms

BC Cancer Foundation and Garage interns at Microsoft in Vancouver teamed up to create a mixed reality solution using HoloLens to visualize tumors at single-cell resolution for cancer research. The Holographic Cancer Cell Visualizer is an interactive prototype that allows scientists to study in 3D holograms the make-up of tumor cells and spatial relationships between cell types, something that has….

Mobile Chest X-Ray Analysis uses machine learning models to demonstrate how smart medical apps can be created

In today’s ever-growing society, there are areas of the world where resources are thin and not as readily available to those who need them most. With the help of artificial intelligence technologies, resources and knowledge can be distributed and accessed in novel ways. The project illustrates one such use case, of the intelligent edge, where AI can help inform healthcare….

Snip Insights brings AI to Snipping tool with intelligent insights

What if everyday work flows were re-imagined through the power of AI to inspire and delight? What if users could achieve more with a tool that is both easily accessible and familiar? Millions of Windows users perform the same task every single day. Screenshots are taken all the time, but as technologies progress in leaps and bounds, screen capturing tools….

Project Road Runner uses photo-realistic simulation and deep learning to train autonomous driving algorithms

“Cars take up a lot of space in our lives and in our cities. Most of a car’s lifetime is spent sitting around unused, wasting space. Making cars autonomous means more space in our cities, less accidents on the roads and a cleaner and greener environment. Also, I hate driving.” Aditya Sharma is the lead program manager of Project Road….
