Hey Cortana! We’re back with another show around more natural interactions and more personal computing using device and cloud technology and this time we’re looking at Cortana.

In this show we add Cortana into a home automation scenario where we’re controlling lighting using Windows on PC and Raspberry PI.

We look at how we can use Cortana in ‘foreground’ mode where the application’s UI comes onto the screen and also how we can have a conversation with an app through Cortana when working in a background mode.

Here’s a breakdown of the show;
