so it's a pleasure to be here in Las Vegas to present to you now I get
invited to do keynotes across the globe and while it's easy for me to be here in
Las Vegas it isn't always easy for me to travel across the world and even when I

could help me be anywhere I needed to be and speak any language I wanted well it
can we are bringing together the power of mixed reality and Azure AI services
to create a truly game-changing experience what you're about to see is
an exact hologram of me wearing the same outfit that we recently captured at a
mixed reality studio and I don't speak Japanese but what if I wanted to deliver
my keynote in Japanese using Azure AI technology I can translate my English
into Japanese and train it to sound exactly like me the same voice tones
those same inflections now we brought this together my hologram and as Rai to
show you what's possible so first I'm gonna put on my hololens to hear and
then we'll flip in the room to the special camera so you can see exactly
what I'm seeing let's get started first let me introduce you to mini-me there
she is my perfect holograph and thanks to the power of hololens - she just
floats right with me I'm literally holding my hologram so natural now she's
a little small to do a keynote so let's get her up so she can do full-sized

as you can see this is mind blowing technology and what you just saw was my
life-size hologram my exact replica rendered here in real time speaking
Japanese with my unique voice signature to do this we use mixed reality
technology to create my hologram and render it here live then we use Azure
speech-to-text capability in English transcription to get my speech then use
Azure translate to get this in this Beach into Japanese and finally applied
neural text-to-speech technology so it sounded exactly like me
just speaking Japanese and the most amazing part all of these technologies
exists today the future is here
