3. We’ve done many things to make developers more productive than ever – we made it a simplified project structure, and that’s what this looks like, a single project! Built on .NET SDK Simplified project file – and you can see our new namespaces, Maui and Devices (which is the evolution of essentials) And, you’ll be able to deploy to any target right from VS, without toggling which CPU or project is your startup project! The first thing we’ll do is bring all your fonts, images, and resources into that same exact single project – I’ve added font awesome, and an icon You have access to 100s of APIs with System.Device and .NET but sometimes you need to get the native stuff. But now right in this you get to the specifics and all your native APIs are right htere No more different project heads – you’ll be able to put your custom work right in platforms in the single project

6. Multicard shows time to clear and mice caught Visuals are interactive in when clicking on a monitored build, time to catch and mice caught are reflective of that specific building Monitoring how long it takes to clear a trap addresses possible customer SLAs
7. Mentioned earlier that Edge is more than PC… This is a commercial play for us, not just consumer… The Intelligent Edge is composed of the devices that you are making IoT is complex… We are working together to try and make it easier to be successful in this space. There are two main ways to think about Azure and your business. SaaS or PaaS. Do you need a high level of customization, or do you need a managed service. The first is SaaS. Whether you are building a managed service for yourself or on behalf of a customer, Azure IoT Central can remove complexity, allowing you to quickly deploy and manage a fleet of connected devices at scale. From digital devices to connected equipment, and consumer white goods; these are all examples that are perfect for Azure IoT Central We have customers examples, industry use cases, partners, tools and resources in place to help you transition your business to a managed services. The service is in public preview now and we are already working with lots of customers and partners. Azure IoT Central will come later this year Sometimes you have a need for greater customization and control, and in these situations PaaS is a better fit. Microsoft has a the industry leading portfolio of platform services to help you create an IoT solution spanning the Intelligent Cloud and Intelligent Edge. Azure IoT Hub is the starting point for IoT in the cloud and the way that you scale the intelligent Edge Azure IoT Edge allows you to run intelligence at the edge and only connect to the cloud for monitoring and maintenance Microsoft has build Solution Accelerators for the most common IoT scenarios, designed to help you get started more quickly
8. The second device we want to talk about in our Intelligent Edge story is the Azure Kinect DK. Last year at Build, Satya announced Project Kinect for Azure – a vision for combining advanced Kinect technology with the intelligence of Azure AI. We’re delighted to announce that we are beginning pre-orders for this developer kit and PC peripheral with advanced AI sensors for sophisticated computer vision and speech models.
9. Drones Measure Farm Soil Moisture Good soil moisture allows for the optimal growth and yield of crops, while at broader spatial scales also regulates weather, climate and flooding. The water levels in the soil controls evaporation over land and thus the energy fluxes into the atmosphere. This drives the atmospheric circulation, which drives climate.
