A major update for Windows 10 is arriving early next year, 2017. Microsoft referred to it as the “Creators Update” with focus on 3D content and gaming.
It will feature an updated version of Paint called Paint 3D that allows users to capture, create, manipulate, print and share 3D content. Moreover, gamers will be able to stream their favorite games without using a third party app.

Capturing 3D content in Windows 10 is achieved by using a smartphone. Windows 10, iOS and Android smartphones will be supported. Microsoft aims to make it as easy as shooting pictures.
Microsoft Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint are also set to support 3D content with this update. Aside from the user’s own creations, 3D objects can be downloaded from a community driven hub called Remix3D.
