It allows users to sit around a bonfire or even in luxurious virtual rooms to make them feel more connected to one another in a virtual space. The mixed reality makes corporate meetings more interactive and warm. The company already offers a personalized approach to online meetings with avatars that are custom to represent the employees and this provides a more close-knit environment through the comfort of their own home. The Microsoft Mesh solution is integrated with the company's collaboration platform and turns the meeting into a 3D experience.
