Microsoft has announced that Mesh for Teams, an extension of Microsoft Mesh, a mixed reality platform, for the online meeting tool Microsoft Teams, will be released in 2022.
Microsoft Mesh is a mixed reality platform announced in March 2021 that allows multiple users to share a virtual reality space. According to Microsoft research, online meetings held in Microsoft Teams etc. can be participated anywhere and are convenient and convenient, but many people feel that there is a small lack for building relationships or careers.
Also, when participating in an online meeting, turning on the camera seems to actively participate, but it is difficult to use because it has two options in the on/off state, and many people have a problem that most of the meetings simply become like still images.
What Microsoft is proposing as a way to solve this problem is that Mesh for Teams, which introduces Microsoft Mesh functionality into Microsoft Teams, makes teleconferencing and hybrid meetings more collaborative and interactive.
Also, Microsoft is expressing Messi for Teams as metaverse research, but what Microsoft is saying is far from the metaverse that Mark Zuckerberg and others are talking about. It is analyzed as the first attempt. Related information can be found here.
