1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,000
so Microsoft brought us down to their Redmond campus for a special event that

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:09,440
I thought was just going to be a condensed version of their Hollow lens

3
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:13,599
demo pretty cool but we weren't going to be able to film that I had no idea that

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:17,480
they were going to bring us on an exclusive tour of their Advanced

5
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:23,359
prototyping center and hardware engineering Labs this was so cool and it

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:33,559
was absolutely unexpected let's go see what they had in store for us

7
00:00:33,559 --> 00:00:39,520
Intel skull Canyon knock features a sixth generation core i7 processor and

8
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:43,399
Thunderbolt 3 learn more in the link in the video description our first stop was

9
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:48,160
their 3D printing room much of their rapid prototyping and concept models are

10
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:52,039
realized In This Very Room I tried to find more information about these

11
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:56,160
specific printers that they used online but was not all that successful what

12
00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:01,920
they did tell me was that they could print at down to 14 microns for

13
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:07,560
incredibly details and that they could print a wide range of colors all at the

14
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:12,240
same time these 3D printers use UV light to cure the plastic as it is extruded

15
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,600
and each one of these printers costs about

16
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:23,079
$200,000 meaning that all eight of them cost about $1.6 million that's only you

17
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:29,159
know slightly more than our $3,000 ultimaker 2 next up we have the CNC room

18
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:33,280
or computer numerical control this is where they run very various prototypes

19
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:38,040
of different Metal Products the only thing they would show us currently being

20
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:42,960
milled was the keyboard for a Microsoft Surface Book everything else was covered

21
00:01:40,399 --> 00:01:47,240
up in different ways and made very abundantly clear that we were not

22
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:51,719
allowed to film them which is fair on the table they gave us a demo of the

23
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:56,520
process of taking a solid block of magnesium and turning it into the body

24
00:01:54,119 --> 00:02:01,320
for a Surface Book all the way down to the circular is pattern cut into the

25
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:06,159
body that helps shed some weight while keeping the whole unit nice and strong

26
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:10,119
but this isn't the end for the CNC room they'll build something in here and then

27
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:14,280
find some problems with it and try to solve them which anyone who has done

28
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:18,840
prototyping or programming knows is just going to introduce more problems which

29
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:23,080
then need to be solved as well this process to get down to a good level will

30
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:28,239
take about 18 months during which they will also do durability tests where they

31
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:33,040
will test both what it can take and also what it can't learning what the product

32
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:38,280
cannot sustain can be rather helpful for further iterations and to be honest it's

33
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:42,720
just fun I'm sure this had something to do with it speaking of iterations though

34
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:47,879
they also showed off the design process for yet again the Surface Book this area

35
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:51,720
featured a tiny fraction of the prototypes that they actually had for

36
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:56,680
this device considering they were doing day-by-day iterations on that 18-month

37
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:00,319
design cycle that I mentioned earlier there were also large scale demos of

38
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:04,519
small features like the the surface locking mechanism that were just

39
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,799
straight up cool this area was great because it helped us see into the minds

40
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:12,519
of the designers and the engineers working on the project as they evolve

41
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:17,879
from idea to idea like the spine of the Surface Book looking like well the spine

42
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:19,480
of a normal book Moving onwards we have

43
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:24,360
the human factors room where they specialize in anthropometrics or the

44
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:29,439
measurement of a human individual they have tons of measuring devices in here

45
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:34,280
including a special room with 36 cameras mounted all around a chair they use this

46
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:38,840
room to measure Austin's head with these accurate measuring tools they can find

47
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:43,599
what tolerances they need to build into their products like say an Xbox

48
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:49,120
controller they also have a room in here that we weren't allowed to record in

49
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,920
that can go from near Darkness to

50
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:59,239
65,000 Lux and can change in color temperature from 2,800 to 6200 Kelvin

51
00:03:55,879 --> 00:04:02,159
holy sh moving on from there we have the

52
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:07,840
audio Labs now Microsoft has over 25 anaco Chambers but the main one that we

53
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:11,239
looked at today cost over $1.5

54
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,680
million it's the quietest place on Earth

55
00:04:11,239 --> 00:04:19,720
they can use this room to measure down to -20 DB meaning they can literally

56
00:04:16,359 --> 00:04:22,520
hear air particles moving oh my God

57
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:27,320
that's insane anyways this helps them study how the human brain processes

58
00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:32,080
sounds how different shapes of products can affect their audio and more and and

59
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:37,080
last but not least we have the soft room and the paint room where they test color

60
00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:41,639
concepts and texture possibilities for a wide range of products like keyboard

61
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:47,280
covers for surface and various fabrics and textures on things like Hollow lands

62
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,080
and the uh well now seemingly

63
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:53,919
discontinued Microsoft band this tour was awesome and completely unexpected it

64
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:58,160
was fun to hang out with Austin and judner for the day and it didn't end

65
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:02,840
here either next we checked out the garage but to find out what that is

66
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:06,680
you'll have to stay tuned for another video do you want a beautiful website

67
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:11,479
that just works well Squarespace could probably be for you they have 24/7 live

68
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:15,120
chat and email support and it's only 12 bucks a month and when you sign up for a

00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,800
year you get a free domain they even all come with responsive design so whatever

70
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:24,560
you're viewing it on mobile device console projector laptop other more

71
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:28,240
different mobile device whatever it is it will work just fine also they have

72
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:32,160
Commerce modules if you want to sell something it can all be integr gred

80
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,720
that like button and let me let me know why in the comments down below I know

81
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:07,360
this was more of a factory tour kind of thing but we were completely not ready

82
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:12,720
for that and didn't have enough time to film on site so let me know how that

83
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:17,000
went overall check out the link down below to see where to buy stuff I guess

84
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:20,720
like surface and Xbox controllers or something on Amazon also linked in the

85
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:24,759
description is our merch store so you can buy cool shirts like this one and

86
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:29,599
our community Forum where you can talk about Microsoft's prototyping lab or the

87
00:06:27,599 --> 00:06:34,319
fact that their watch thing is disc continued and stuff like that if you're

88
00:06:32,199 --> 00:06:38,160
wondering what to watch next click this it's another one of our factory tours

89
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:43,440
either the Sennheiser one or the Omron one whoever edits this will'll put one

90
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,440
of them there
