Initially, Mesh will present people as virtual avatars taken from the AltspaceVR social network that Microsoft acquired back in 2017. “You can actually feel like you’re in the same place with someone sharing content or you can teleport from different mixed reality devices and be present with people even when you’re not physically together.” “This has been the dream for mixed reality, the idea from the very beginning,” explains Kipman. ![]() Mesh is a collaborative platform that allows anyone to have shared virtual experiences on a variety of devices.
