At its professional event for promoting Windows 8, Microsoft screened an opening video produced by MASATAKA and ELECTROCUTICA (Treow) called “Through the Window”. The video, which ran during Windows Developer Days‘ second day keynote session (“A new ecosystem for the smart devices era, created using Windows 8 and the cloud”), features “8” and the character Claudia Madobe, who represents Microsoft’s cloud services. Nanami Madobe (the Windows 7 mascot) and a secret silhouetted character also made cameos. According to a series of tweets from MASATAKA, the actual session at the conference introduced VOCALOID, MikuMikuDance, and also the use of Kinect with MikuMikuDance, including a demonstration in MMD of operating the Cloudia character with the Kinect. Another tweet summarized the VOCALOID-related topics of the session: MMDPV, Cubase, MMD, Kinect, VOCALOID3, an announcement for a Metro version of VOCALOID3, integration for Net VocaListener (online service using VocaListener) and VOCALOID STORE, and support for publishing videos.
