Microsoft Announces Metaverse Projects: Games and 3D Avatars On The Way

Two separate statements from Microsoft today revealed the company's exciting plans for AR and VR. 
Talking about an innovation it will bring to Microsoft Teams with a statement, the company stated that it will 
also be included in the Metaverse universe with its games.
Meta, which we remember as Facebook, recently announced Metaverse, a groundbreaking project
 in the field of augmented reality and virtual reality, at the  event. Meta, 
which offers similar applications to business life on a limited basis for now, has been working to create a virtual 
environment in which users can officially exist over the years.

Microsoft has also taken important steps on similar technologies today. Introducing the 
Microsoft Teams feature, which will rival Meta's augmented reality office application, 
the company also talked about new ideas that will benefit from AR and VR technology in the field of gaming.

Microsoft Teams has announced a new feature that will increase productivity in business 
environments with the widespread use of remote and hybrid working order brought by the pandemic and which 
seems to remain after the pandemic. With this feature, users will be able to use three-dimensional characters, 
in other words 'avatars', to represent themselves during an online conversation.

The feature, which is expressed as a solution to the problem that online meetings become boring and 
difficult to focus after a point, is a character that looks exactly like you or that you have determined;
 will reflect your actions on this character and show it to other participants. Thanks to the artificial intelligence, 
everything you do will be adapted to this avatar in terms of animation. These characters can also be displayed in 
2D and will not need a VR device to be seen. However, if there is a VR device, of course, it will not be eaten.
