Our Process
The building blocks of the future
Microsoft Build is the celebration of the process. Dynamic and colorful shapes that interact with each other are used to represent both data, and the literal building blocks that make up our digital and physical world.
Our goal was to create an immersive, multi-dimensional experience that represents data, AI, intelligent edge in an abstract way.
