The Creators Update is designed “to spark and unleash creativity,” the software giant said in a statement. The Update will include new features including a 3D app, mixed reality, Microsoft Edge, extra security capabilities, and privacy tools.
According to the Redmond-based tech giant, the Windows 10 is designed to “empower the creator in all of us.”
“And we want Windows to be the place you love to create and play, with the tools to help you make your mark in the world,” the company said in a blog.
The Creators Update will include the new Paint 3D app to create 3D objects from scratch, easily changing colors, stamping textures, or turning a 2D picture into a 3D work of art.
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) said that Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo will ship the world’s first Windows Mixed Reality-enabled headsets with the Creators Update later this year. These headsets will contain built-in sensors to enable inside-out, six-degrees of freedom.
