Mesh
The digital world of Mesh allows you to collaborate with avatars from anywhere in the world. Mesh is therefore particularly suitable for companies, trade fairs or meetings.
You can find out exactly what Mesh is and what you can do in this metaverse world on this page.
What is Mesh?
Mesh is a metaverse platform developed by Microsoft. This world specialises in enabling you to collaborate digitally with other users from all over the world, to hold trade fairs or events.
What’s special about Mesh
Mesh relies on VR technology to represent its metaverse world. In Mesh, users are not only part of this world on screen, but also immerse themselves in it much more intensively through VR.
Collaboration takes place via 3D avatars, which are displayed in a common space. You can move around this room, visualize content, or communicate with other avatars.
Originally, Mesh was accessible via the HoloLens 2 and the dedicated Mesh app. In the future, Microsoft had planned that everyone would be able to get on board using VR glasses and the Mesh app.
With Mesh for Teams, Microsoft also worked to hold Teams meetings in the digital world.
