In a video, the CEO highlighted some of the key products they are developing that will impact the metaverse including:
- Teams
- Mesh
- HoloLens
Microsoft Teams will allow users to create their own 3D digital avatars and collaborate in virtual spaces by plugging into the virtual reality headset such as Microsoft’s HoloLens and Facebook’s Oculus. The capability, set to be launched in 2022, is powered by the Mesh, a virtual collaboration tool launched in 2022.
Recently, Microsoft purchased the mega gaming studio, Blizzard Studios, ushering in a new era of gaming that is likely informed by the growing interest in virtual experiences like the metaverse.
Both Microsoft and Facebook have been investing in augmented and virtual reality to power their metaverse ambitions.
