Microsoft Forms Metaverse Partnership with Meta!
At Microsoft Ignite, the annual event held in New York, Microsoft formed a new partnership with Meta to develop Metaverse hardware. This month's Microsoft Ignite event took place in New York City. During a keynote speech, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced three new Surface computers as well as a partnership with Meta, one of the world's largest technology brands. The two tech giants are coming together to work on a Metaverse hardware project.
At the Microsoft Ignite event earlier this month, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced a partnership with tech giant Meta. The duo aims to bring several Microsoft Office products to Meta's VR platform. The goal of the collaboration is to drive many companies to start working more in virtual environments. In addition, Meta's new VR headset Quest Pro is more comfortable, has better performance and offers higher resolution than its predecessor.
The company also made other announcements. Some of them are the Surface Laptop 5, Surface Pro 9 convertible tablet. In addition, the company announced more than 100 devices, updates and services, including Surface Studio 2+ running on Windows 11 operating system. The most notable of the announcements is the collaboration with Meta.
Quest Pro allows users' virtual avatars to mimic the facial expressions of their real-life colleagues. They will also have more intuitive feedback on hand controls and real-time expression tracking. This will allow people to connect in VR on smartphones as if they were physically in the same space. The collaboration also promises to deliver much more than any VR headset we've seen so far.
For Metaverse to succeed, it needs to give users the feeling of interacting with digital objects and other people as if they were real. Microsoft's partnership with Meta will help make this happen. Microsoft 365 applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and SharePoint will be developed for Quest Pro. With this integration, businesses will retain a sense of physical presence in their interactions with others. And in doing so, they will be able to enjoy all the benefits of remote working.
The announcement from Microsoft and Mark Zuckerberg is one step closer to realizing the truly immersive Metaverse experience. Microsoft's tools have been part of business life for years. And with Meta's hardware, the physical and virtual worlds will finally merge in a truly natural way.
