Meetup XIII: Microsoft’s IoT Universe – Azure, HoloLens etc.

In the past months and years, Windows Embedded, Azure IoT Suite, Cortana Analytics Suite etc. have made quite a splash. But what Microsoft technologies are really worth looking at from an IoT developer's point of view?

In this meetup we'll explore IoT-relevant technologies by Microsoft and the company's Internet of Things strategy – so you can make up your own mind.

Abstract: In this session we will discuss key technologies and solutions from Microsoft that allow you to implement new solutions for the world of IoT. In a number of demos we will show the most important technologies of the "IoT stack" such as Windows 10 IoT Core, .NET Core, IoT Hub, Azure IoT etc. In addition, we will demonstrate Holographic Twins (HoloTwins) that represent real devices as holograms on HoloLens and thus ring in a new era of human machine interfaces (HMI). This session is for all software developers and architects who want to make their solutions "IoT-ready" .
