We saw all sorts of innovations regarding Windows during the Build conference, and while most of them were focused on ARM and Copilot, there was a segment dedicated to VR.
Microsoft announced its collaboration with Meta, and that they are planning to extend Windows apps into 3D space, so here’s what we know.
Microsoft will bring Windows volumetric apps to Meta Quest
As The Verge reports this was announced during the Build event, and Microsoft showcased a digital exploded 3D view of the Xbox controller viewed from Meta Quest 3.
Since this is a digital object, you can manipulate it as you like with your hands. The credit goes to Creo, one of Microsoft’s partners, for bringing this interactive visualization to Quest.
This looks impressive, and if you’re a developer, you can get access to a volumetric API and experiment further after signing in for a developer preview.
In other news, Microsoft has introduced Copilot + PC computing, and if you’re eager to try it, you can do so with newly announced Snapdragon Surface laptops.
