Microsoft pushes a mixed reality, connected future at Computex

Matt Barlow, corporate vice president, Windows marketing; and Peter Han, vice president, partner devices and solutions show off mixed reality headsets from some of the world's leading PC companies at Computex 2017.

At the annual tech extravaganza in Taipei, Microsoft is talking up headsets and the Internet of Things but, more importantly for consumers, how its close working relationship with most of the world's leading electronics firms is going to make these new technologies and devices an affordable reality for all. 

"Our partner model is unique in the industry as we collaborate, end-to-end, from design, through all phases of the product lifecycle and across consumer and device channels," said Nick Parker, corporate vice president, consumer and device sales. "Together, we are building new experiences for customers, generating demand and ultimately, creating growth in existing and new categories including Mixed Reality, Internet of Things, and Always Connected PCs with Intel and Qualcomm."
