Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella (Satya Nadella) said that the Xbox gaming platform will also be added to the “meta universe” in the future. Nadella said that in the “meta universe” market, Microsoft’s enterprise applications are in a leading position, but it is expected that the Xbox gaming platform will also participate in it in the future.
Microsoft is the first to introduce the “meta universe” element to the chat and meeting application Microsoft Teams. Its MR (mixed reality) platform Microsoft Mesh will be integrated into Microsoft Teams to enhance the collaboration experience.
This will allow colleagues to meet and interact in the form of virtual avatars, share Office files, etc., whether in a real team meeting or an immersive virtual world. This version of the application is currently being tested and will be launched in the first half of 2022.
As for the game platform, Nadella said: “You can totally expect that we will do something in the game.”
He said that in fact, you can think of “The Last Battle” (Halo) as a meta-universe, “Being a Creator” is also a meta-universe, and “Microsoft Flight Simulator” is also the same.
“In a sense, some of the current Xbox games are in 2D today. Can you bring them to a complete 3D world? We will definitely do this.”
Nadella also said that in the first phase, Microsoft will focus on the development of practical applications of “metauniverse”, such as Teams. The benefits of extending these application services to metauniverse are obvious.
