Microsoft Introduces Mesh: Virtual Meetings in Teams Reach New Dimension
New Delhi: Microsoft has unveiled an exciting addition to Teams: Microsoft Mesh. This innovative platform revolutionizes virtual meetings by creating immersive 3D environments where users can connect like never before. What sets Mesh apart is its ability to offer this experience without the need for VR headsets, making it accessible to all users.
With Microsoft Mesh, remote collaboration takes on a whole new meaning. Users’ avatars can gather in virtual spaces, bringing a sense of presence and connection to meetings, even across distances. This comes at a time when the debate over returning to physical offices continues, providing a unique solution to remote work challenges.
Leading companies like Accenture and Takeda have already tested Mesh, reporting more collaborative and engaging meetings. Takeda’s Chief Technology Officer, Leo Barella, highlighted the platform’s ability to enhance human connection in the evolving workplace.
Microsoft Mesh offers pre-designed virtual spaces that companies can customize to their preferences, with no coding required. Utilizing Unity, a development platform, employers can recreate real-world locations or events virtually, inviting employees’ avatars to participate.
While Microsoft Mesh is currently available on desktop PCs and Meta Quest VR devices, it’s accessible to all users with a business or enterprise plan through a six-month free trial. Pricing options vary for others interested in exploring this groundbreaking virtual meeting platform.
