On December 12th 2016, at its WinHEC conference in ShenZhen, China, Microsoft announced that it intends to use Windows 10 to add Cortana to all devices that connect to the internet. The idea is to allow developers to add Cortana to devices such as refrigerators, toasters, robots, doorbells, and thermostats, etc, as long as these devices have a screen or visual display. The devices will use, "Wake on Voice from Modern Standby," and "Far-Field Voice," support to make this possible.
The, "Wake on Voice from Modern Standby, " command is what allows Cortana to turn on computers from off to a fully powered state. This is made possible through the use of Windows 10's "Modern Standby," Power management Support. The "Far-Field Voice," technology will give Cortana the ability to work in rooms where there is ambient noise, and will work at a distance of up to 13 feet away.
Microsoft expects to release its Windows IoT (Internet of Things) Core, as a part of its Windows 10 Creators Update, in the spring of 2017. Devices equipped with the new technology should arrive by late 2017.
