There are many … about Microsoft and Nvidia are working on their own more practical metaverseĪfter testing its Chromium-based Edge web browser for over a year, Microsoft has finally launched the stable version of the browser. While the Meta version of the metaverse focused on things like being able to take the digital skins purchased in one game environment into another, both Microsoft and Nvidia focused on team collaboration and business-to-business communication. At Microsoft’s Ignite conference this week and as part of a news build-up towards next week’s Nvidia GTC conference, both companies showed a more practical and business-oriented approach to the metaverse than the consumer-focused version that Mark Zuckerberg and team presented. What is somewhat unexpected, however, is how different the perspectives on the topic are already proving to be.
In context: Given all the hoopla surrounding the company previously known as Facebook rebranding itself to Meta last week, it’s not the least bit surprising to see other big tech industry players start talking about their own visions of what the latest versions of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR)-the metaverse-can bring.
