Introduction

In a world where remote collaboration has become the norm, Microsoft has taken a bold step forward with the launch of Microsoft Mesh. This innovative platform seamlessly integrates into Microsoft Teams, the go-to communication hub for many during the era of hybrid working.

As we adapted to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, tools like Teams became lifelines for secure professional connections. However, the concern arose about the potential fragmentation of collaboration and team connections when limited to virtual calls.

O2 Blue Door Expo was the firs virtual space that Superla created.

Microsoft Mesh has been built to address this challenge by creating  a virtual workplace that transcends the confines of traditional desktop applications. It aims to transform our digital workspace into more than just a collection of windows featuring Outlook, Teams, and PowerPoint. Instead, Mesh seeks to create a virtual office space where your work is a visible presence in a dynamic virtual world.

Understanding Mesh goes beyond dismissing it as a mere "video game"; it signifies an evolution in our interaction with virtual tools. We've progressed from typing commands on keyboards to using mice and cursors for more intuitive interactions. Touchscreens allowed us to click with our fingertips, all within a two-dimensional space. Now, Mesh introduces a three-dimensional approach to connecting with familiar tools.

RS connect was a very succsessfull event space which ran for a week and hosted over 1,600 people during covid.

Conclusion

Interestingly, Mesh bears a resemblance to the Superla Play platform developed during the pandemic. The similarity is so striking that we're opting to champion Mesh over our own system. To build in Mesh, a team of game developers, experienced 3D artists, and developers proficient in the Unity platform and C# are essential.

This is where Superla Play finds its niche. We position ourselves as facilitators and architects of your virtual office, offering a seamless experience in a space you may not even realize you've acquired—a plot of land in the digital realm.

As we venture into the future of virtual collaboration, Microsoft Mesh stands as a testament to the evolution of our digital workspaces, promising a more immersive and connected experience for teams around the globe.

In a world where remote collaboration has become the norm, Microsoft has taken a bold step forward with the launch of Microsoft Mesh. This innovative platform seamlessly integrates into Microsoft Teams, the go-to communication hub for many during the era of hybrid working.

This feature is particularly valuable for hybrid work scenarios, making virtual meetings more engaging and effective.

  3. Integration with 3D Tools: Microsoft Teams Mesh seamlessly integrates with 3D tools and applications, allowing users to bring three-dimensional models into the virtual workspace. This is beneficial for industries like design, architecture, and engineering, where visualizing and collaborating on 3D models is crucial.

  4. Avatars for Personalized Interaction: Mesh introduces avatars, virtual representations of users, adding a personal touch to virtual interactions. Avatars help humanize the digital space, making it feel more like an actual office environment.
