Microsoft also prepares to enter the metaverse

Just days after Facebook rebranded to Meta to reflect the company's aspiration in the metaverse space, Microsoft Corp announced that it is gearing up to take its own stab at the idea and will launch Mesh for its video conferencing platform Teams in the first half of 2022, where its customers can interact as well as collaborate in 3D digital avatars in offices, or on shop floors. Mesh is a collaborative communication platform introduced by the tech giant for virtual experiences, directly into Microsoft Teams. The virtual collaboration tool lets people interact with each other using 3D holographic images. Microsoft has already excelled in creating the 1:1 replica of the entire world in its game Microsoft Flight Simulator. Even though the virtual world is expected to be much larger than the physical world, that is quite an important checkpoint for the advancement to the digital world.
