It seems all it took was Mark Zuckerberg bringing the Metaverse into the media spotlight for other companies like Microsoft to start showcasing their projects focused on the new virtual reality. This concept is used to describe a multisensory and immersive experience through technological developments. Starting in 2022, Microsoft Teams will function as a virtual metaverse, allowing users to attend meetings with personalized avatars. It will be available for mobile phones and computers and will also feature specific spaces to connect the physical and virtual worlds. This is Mesh, which aims to compete with the Metaverse announced by Facebook. “Think of the metaverse as a new version, or a new vision, of the internet, one in which people come together to communicate, collaborate, and share with a personal virtual presence on any device. Organizations can also create immersive spaces, metaverses, within Teams,” explains Microsoft Latin America News Center. These features will allow users to be virtually connected across different physical locations and experience shared, collaborative holographic experiences using Teams\' productivity tools. They will also be able to join meetings, chat, collaborate on documents, and more. “Welcome to Mesh for Teams. As a company focused on productivity and knowledge workers, this is something our customers are really asking for, and it combines with the mixed reality vision we\'ve been working on for 12 years. It\'s all coming together,” explains the narrator of the presentation, which you can find on Microsoft\'s YouTube channel.
