Microsoft has announced its intention to create an immersive 3D platform called "Mesh for Teams" for virtual meetings. As the name suggests, Mesh for Teams builds on the company's existing Teams collaboration platform and implements the mixed reality features of Microsoft Mesh.

One of the ways our society adapted to the pandemic was -work at home-.
What hath gosh wrought?!
Though this one source [quoted above] may not have clarified, this topic may include 3D simulation to provide virtual "worm holes*" through cyberspace, home to workplace, you to coworkers even when thousands of miles apart.
The broader perspective, Fritz Lang's Metropolis 1927 cynically predicted a grim future, humans slave to the machine.
Yet Microsoft may have us teetering on the precipice of unprecedented social estrangement.
If what joins us in wholesome unity is good, what else can we call that divides, separates us but bad? Evil? Antagonistic? Demonic?
The ARS article also mentions:
Mesh for Teams is a far cry from what Zuckerberg and others describe for the distant future, which would entail hologram and augmented reality technology rather than or in addition to virtual reality for more natural and comfortable experiences. But it's Microsoft's initial attempt to ride the wave of investor and media hype around the so-called "metaverse" concept.
The first version is expected to become available to Teams users sometime in 2022.
