The biggest tech giants are battling it out to be the first one to establish themselves as the leader in the metaverse. Find out the different approach that Meta and Microsoft are taking.
However, Microsoft's metaverse concept is headed for a slightly different direction. Instead of VR, they are using a mixed-reality approach. With its HoloLens 2 and "holoportation," users can project a life-like hologram of themselves or an avatar to interact as if they are physically there. While this sounds very sci-fi, they are also implementing the Mesh app on normal VR headsets and hardware that are currently more utilized, such as tablets, mobile phones or PCs.
Meta, on the other hand, has reiterated its commitment to data privacy in the metaverse, stating that it will reduce data gathering activities to protect users and their data, and provide people with transparency and control over their data, most future users will be unconvinced. However, former breaches of data stories are more than enough to leave users with a heavy dose of doubt. It is ranked 21 out of the top 35 tech giants in terms of privacy.
Microsoft has long been a strong enterprise player, and its collaboration and productivity solutions are still one of the most popular in the office. Adding more immersive collaboration features to their current model makes sense in the near future, especially since many people are currently in remote work or hybrid arrangements in the ongoing pandemic.
However, with emerging technologies, it is anyone's guess who will turn out to be the eventual winners. According to Pew Research, in 2011,in the U.S. is 35%. Now, 10 years later, it is at 85%. Will that be the same for VR and mixed-reality headsets? Only time will tell. This article contains links to third-party websites or other content for information purposes only .
