WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.000
so Microsoft brought us down to their Redmond campus for a special event that

00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:09.440
I thought was just going to be a condensed version of their Hollow lens

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

00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:17.480
they were going to bring us on an exclusive tour of their Advanced

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:23.359
prototyping center and hardware engineering Labs this was so cool and it

00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:33.559
was absolutely unexpected let's go see what they had in store for us

00:00:33.559 --> 00:00:39.520
Intel skull Canyon knock features a sixth generation core i7 processor and

00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:43.399
Thunderbolt 3 learn more in the link in the video description our first stop was

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:48.160
their 3D printing room much of their rapid prototyping and concept models are

00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:52.039
realized In This Very Room I tried to find more information about these

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:56.160
specific printers that they used online but was not all that successful what

00:00:54.520 --> 00:01:01.920
they did tell me was that they could print at down to 14 microns for

00:00:59.160 --> 00:01:07.560
incredibly details and that they could print a wide range of colors all at the

00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:12.240
same time these 3D printers use UV light to cure the plastic as it is extruded

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:16.600
and each one of these printers costs about

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

00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:29.159
know slightly more than our $3,000 ultimaker 2 next up we have the CNC room

00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:33.280
or computer numerical control this is where they run very various prototypes

00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:38.040
of different Metal Products the only thing they would show us currently being

00:01:35.119 --> 00:01:42.960
milled was the keyboard for a Microsoft Surface Book everything else was covered

00:01:40.399 --> 00:01:47.240
up in different ways and made very abundantly clear that we were not

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

00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:56.520
process of taking a solid block of magnesium and turning it into the body

00:01:54.119 --> 00:02:01.320
for a Surface Book all the way down to the circular is pattern cut into the

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:06.159
body that helps shed some weight while keeping the whole unit nice and strong

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

00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:14.280
find some problems with it and try to solve them which anyone who has done

00:02:12.040 --> 00:02:18.840
prototyping or programming knows is just going to introduce more problems which

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

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:28.239
take about 18 months during which they will also do durability tests where they

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

00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:38.280
cannot sustain can be rather helpful for further iterations and to be honest it's

00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:42.720
just fun I'm sure this had something to do with it speaking of iterations though

00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:47.879
they also showed off the design process for yet again the Surface Book this area

00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:51.720
featured a tiny fraction of the prototypes that they actually had for

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:56.680
this device considering they were doing day-by-day iterations on that 18-month

00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:00.319
design cycle that I mentioned earlier there were also large scale demos of

00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:04.519
small features like the the surface locking mechanism that were just

00:03:02.040 --> 00:03:07.799
straight up cool this area was great because it helped us see into the minds

00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:12.519
of the designers and the engineers working on the project as they evolve

00:03:10.040 --> 00:03:17.879
from idea to idea like the spine of the Surface Book looking like well the spine

00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:19.480
of a normal book Moving onwards we have

00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:24.360
the human factors room where they specialize in anthropometrics or the

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:29.439
measurement of a human individual they have tons of measuring devices in here

00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:34.280
including a special room with 36 cameras mounted all around a chair they use this

00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:38.840
room to measure Austin's head with these accurate measuring tools they can find

00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:43.599
what tolerances they need to build into their products like say an Xbox

00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:49.120
controller they also have a room in here that we weren't allowed to record in

00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:51.920
that can go from near Darkness to

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:59.239
65,000 Lux and can change in color temperature from 2,800 to 6200 Kelvin

00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:02.159
holy sh moving on from there we have the

00:03:59.239 --> 00:04:07.840
audio Labs now Microsoft has over 25 anaco Chambers but the main one that we

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:11.239
looked at today cost over $1.5

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:12.680
million it's the quietest place on Earth

00:04:11.239 --> 00:04:19.720
they can use this room to measure down to -20 DB meaning they can literally

00:04:16.359 --> 00:04:22.520
hear air particles moving oh my God

00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:27.320
that's insane anyways this helps them study how the human brain processes

00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:32.080
sounds how different shapes of products can affect their audio and more and and

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

00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:41.639
concepts and texture possibilities for a wide range of products like keyboard

00:04:39.080 --> 00:04:47.280
covers for surface and various fabrics and textures on things like Hollow lands

00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:50.080
and the uh well now seemingly

00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:53.919
discontinued Microsoft band this tour was awesome and completely unexpected it

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

00:04:55.919 --> 00:05:02.840
here either next we checked out the garage but to find out what that is

00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:06.680
you'll have to stay tuned for another video do you want a beautiful website

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:11.479
that just works well Squarespace could probably be for you they have 24/7 live

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

00:05:17.280 --> 00:05:24.560
you're viewing it on mobile device console projector laptop other more

00:05:21.840 --> 00:05:28.240
different mobile device whatever it is it will work just fine also they have

00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:32.160
Commerce modules if you want to sell something it can all be integr gred

00:05:29.960 --> 00:05:36.960
through your own online store which is super cool and you can now even publish

00:05:34.440 --> 00:05:41.560

if this video sucked you know what to do but if it was awesome get subscribed hit

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

00:06:01.400 --> 00:06:07.360
this was more of a factory tour kind of thing but we were completely not ready

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

00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:17.000
went overall check out the link down below to see where to buy stuff I guess

00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:20.720
like surface and Xbox controllers or something on Amazon also linked in the

00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:24.759
description is our merch store so you can buy cool shirts like this one and

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:29.599
our community Forum where you can talk about Microsoft's prototyping lab or the

00:06:27.599 --> 00:06:34.319
fact that their watch thing is disc continued and stuff like that if you're

00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:38.160
wondering what to watch next click this it's another one of our factory tours

00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:43.440
either the Sennheiser one or the Omron one whoever edits this will'll put one

00:06:39.960 --> 00:06:43.440
of them there
