Microsoft s vision for metaverse includes Halo, Minecraft or Flight Simulator 3D applications

During the conference Microsoft s Ignite of 2021 CEO of the company Satya Nadella has shared its vision for the metaverse presenting by Facebook: «When we talk about the metaverse we are describing at the same time a platform and a new type Application, something similar to as we talked about the web and websites in the 90s ». Even though the company has confirmed that it will adapt some of its most popular programs, such as Excel or PowerPoint, to the needs of metaverse, it also has plans that involve your playground and, more specifically, franchises as popular as halo, Minecraft and Flight Simulator.

Of course we will do something in the game division, said Nadella, if you think about Halo as a game, that s a metaverse. Minecraft is a metaverse, in the same way it is Flight SIM. In a sense, today are 2D, but the question is whether you can take them totally to 3D and we plan to do it ». The metaverse in which Microsoft is working - which includes a complete recreation of its offices and several corporate applications - can be used through Oculus devices, however, the company is still clear about how different metavers will connect between them.

In a sense, the metaverse will allow us to integrate computing in the real world and the real world within computing by adding a real presence to any digital space, Nadella said, I can not express how important and breaking is this. The metaverse, referenced by Facebook (now goal) In his last congress, is a virtual world that we can experience through virtual reality devices: Currently, the metaverse is just a concept that is beginning to be built. The goal company, formerly known as Facebook, has presented the idea and announces strong investments to make it actually. But you still need to see if other companies come together in the effort to create the technologies that make it possible, they said a few days ago from Xataka. It seems that Microsoft will be one of these companies that bet on the virtual space.
