As is typical of Microsoftâs annual Ignite conference, the company revealed a number of product announcements that can take weeks or months before organizations get access to them. This year was no exception. The company announced a number of updates to Teams, gave Microsoft 365 and Azure a lot of attention and plotted its course for the next year as its digital workplace momentum continues.
One announcement that stood out above them all so far â and this is an opinion â is the new mixed reality platform Mesh. According to Microsoft, Mesh enables people to share presence experiences from anywhere. While there are many obvious applications for this, initially it looks set to be the future of Teams and any other collaboration or communication tool Microsoft will offer in the future. Mesh is a mixed reality platform that develops and builds on Microsoftâs work in AR and VR.
Microsoft recently unveiled its new Mesh product, which it explained as a "new mixed-reality platform" powered by Azure, Microsoft's cloud computing program, allowing people in different physical locations to join and shared holographic experiences.
