Doug Thomas: Who said big is better? Well, it might have been me especially in
standing in front of one of these things. This is a Perceptive Pixel 82-inch touchscreen
device that you can work with a lot of different ways. Weíre going to show you how Office
works with it today. Doug Thomas: Perceptive Pixel works with the
technology that you find in those touch phones. If youíve ever worked on a touchscreen
a few years ago sometimes it doesnít really respond that well. It might be working
with different optics. This works with a technology called Pro-Cap which is the same
thing we work with our phones and surfaces like device and other tablets so
itís very responsive to touch, Multi-Touch. Iím
just touching the screen to advance the slides here.
Doug Thomas: Now, Perceptive Pixel by Microsoft comes in two different devices.
Thereís an 82-inch device which Iím on now and thereís also a smaller 55-inch device.
Now, again, it works very responsive and weíll just kind of show you some of the things
that you can work on with it. Doug Thomas: One thing to think about is even
though this is a giant thing that you havenít really thought of before, 82-inch
touchscreen, it is just Windows. This is the same Windows you would have. So any software
you wanted to load on here you could, you could certainly use it. I has all the--,
you know, if you know the touch commands for Windows you stroke in from the left-hand side
and you can go through your different screens. You can load other programs onto
it and work through. Doug Thomas: Weíre going to look through
here. Let me switch over to-- this is one thing that they use to demo and this kind
of shows you the Multi-Touch which this has. Iím going to throw a few pictures on here.
And you can work with touch gestures to make things bigger; rotate them. You can use two
hands at once with this Multi-Touch. This oneís kind of cool. You can bring in a video
and play a video. Letís make that a little bigger. As the videoís playing I can just
grab screen shots out of it if I want to. Oops,
letís grab one a little differently. There we go.
Doug Thomas: So it works, again, with this idea that you can work with images. You
can come up and touch and work with it. So ideas, collaborations, meetings all have a
different area. Instead of passing a computer around, itís all up here. People can come
up and interact at the same time and work with their documents and their functionality
and work different ways and means. You can see here the video playing of how it works
with Multi-Touch. But, again, itís just Windows and itís just Office. So the latest version
of Office came with touch controls. Doug Thomas: Letís open up PowerPoint and
see how you might use it in a meeting. Weíll switch over here to another PowerPoint.
And if you are on a touch monitor, I have a
touchscreen computer, you have touch controls so your fingers can move a little better so
if youíre on a Surface or an 82-inch touchscreen like this one.
Doug Thomas: So letís go ahead and run this slide show as I might in a meeting and at
the same time this comes with the computer. If you need a keyboard or mouse to do a
lot of inputting, you can do that. Also comes with a pen so you can interact with a little
finer detail. Doug Thomas: So as I go through here again,
just kind of a brush of my finger is moving the pages through on the PowerPoint which,
again, if on the live feed itís not going to look
as clear as it would here in the room. But again, I could be interacting with people
here in the room and people online at the same time.
I could hand control over to some other folks and they could work on the notes and
the slides together. But again, touch controls do a couple other things.
Doug Thomas: So even though Iím in presentation mode here, which a lot of people
think is kind of very static, with the Office and touch you can directly go to slides if
you want to. I can use the pen and make notes
here. I can circle things, make notes, tell people this is wrong, you know, because I
like doing that; thatís wrong or like I know what
this graph means here. So you can make notes on here and the notes stay in the
presentation. Iím in presentation mode but you get touch controls when you are on a
touchscreen, either a Surface or a Perceptive Pixel.
Doug Thomas: And thereís some other controls here that come in. In fact, usually the
touch controls come up on the bottom of the screen but when I touch the screen they
appear to the side so this way I can advance or use different pen colors if I wanted to.
But again, it makes it a more collaborative and a more-- itís fun too. I mean, just point
that out; itís just fun to kind of work with this in a large screen area where you might
have a screen like this.
Doug Thomas: Letís show you a couple other areas here. Also it will tell you do you
want to keep your inking or not? Letís go ahead and keep it for now and there it stays
in the presentation.
Doug Thomas: Letís switch over to OneNote. Everyone knows Iíll always talk about
OneNote; itís easily one of my favorite-- it is my favorite Office program. Iím sorry
Access. But this, again, it can work in a lot of different ways. Now, OneNote, starting
in 2002 when it came out, was made for the first
versions of tablets to have a pen to work on it so you can do a couple other things.
Doug Thomas: So, again, if weíre working with this page here and I just wanted to work
on it I can write notes and erase notes. I can take pictures and move them with touch.
Letís get the faces out of there. Letís see here, I want to get this out. There we
go. So you can bring other pictures in and expand
pictures and make them bigger. Again, itís all
very responsive with that. Doug Thomas: Now, the other thing with OneNote
is it was designed for writing. So, if youíre taking meeting notes here you can
do it right on the screen. Kind of odd to do
meeting notes on an 82-inch screen but you can work with them. So, I can write-- here
and again, youíre seeing the notes online; everyone here in the room is seeing the notes.
When a camera is on you and your backís turned itís kind of hard to remember how to
spell things. Okay. Doug Thomas: Now one of the things that--
thatís kind of good chicken scratch but one of the things that happens here with working
with OneNote is you can certainly keep the pen writing there but thereís also, and,
again, itís been there, itís designed-- there is a
convert ink to text. So if you watch the text and I press the button it turns it into this.
But again, you can do it either way, keep it either
way that youíd like to work with on OneNote.
Doug Thomas: Letís show you one more thing. So one thing that weíve seen a lot of
lately is how Excelís been used with BI, business intelligence. Weíve seen a lot of
these called Power Tools. Weíll talk next week
about Power Pivot. Weíre going to show you something called Power Map.
Doug Thomas: Now this is a huge spreadsheet of natural disasters in the last 40 years
and I mean, thereís five tabs for tornados and hurricanes. There are thousands of rows
of data. I think one of the sheets has 40,000; longitude, latitude, start time. Weíre going
to put that in and open up Power Map. Now, you can build whatís called a tour. Iím
going to show one, just for time sake, one thatís premade that looks at the time of
all that data and kind of runs a tour of that data.
Doug Thomas: So, as I run it here-- this can go full screen but Iím just going to leave
it in this mode here. What youíre seeing is that
data going through it. You can see the calendar as it spins through starting with
1973. You can see the tracks of the hurricanes and theyíll pick up here in the late fall;
tornado alley with all the purple dots. You have
the yellow dots are earthquakes. So if I kind of spin it over here and show you the Pacific
Ocean you can kind of see that Ring of Fire as they call it that has all the active
earthquakes. You can see some-- I guess that would be cyclones in the Pacific, not
hurricanes. Doug Thomas: And again, you can interact with
a map here, make it bigger or smaller. You can prove the worldís flat if you want
to, go to a full frame like that. But again, thatís
some of the technology that is great to show folks but also the interactivity and the way
you can collaborate with a large screen kind of really shows off, you know, this is an
Excel spreadsheet, folks. This is not the Excel spreadsheet I grew up with thatís for
sure. This shows you the technology and I think
it really shows the technology of what can work with on something like a Perceptive Pixel
device that you would have in meeting rooms; again, a 55-inch or this the 82-inch.
Doug Thomas: Thereís a lot more information about Perceptive Pixel and weíll have
links to all that. If you go to aka.ms/82inch we have links to Perceptive Pixel, also Power
Map if youíre interested in that. Any information about the Office Webinar series and
weíll be back in our regular space next wee, aka.ms/offweb.
Doug Thomas: Next week weíre going to be talking about one of those BI tools called
Power Pivot for Excel but for todayís webinar crew, thank you for joining this Office 15-
Minute Webinar. #### End of OW_097_full.mp4 ####
