Microsoft turns SharePoint into the simplest VR creation tool yet

Microsoft is sticking with its pragmatic approach to VR with SharePoint spaces, a new addition to its collaboration platform that lets you quickly build and view Mixed Reality experiences. It’s a lot like how PowerPoint made it easy for anyone to create business presentations. Sharepoint spaces features templates for things like a gallery of 3D models or 360-degree videos, all of which are viewable in Mixed Reality headsets (or any browser that supports WebVR). While they’re certainly not complex virtual environments, they’re still immersive enough to be used for employee training, or as a quick virtual catalog for your customers.

“Until now, it has been prohibitively complex and costly to develop customized MR apps to address these and other business scenarios,” wrote Jeff Teper, Microsoft’s corporate VP for OneDrive, SharePoint and Office, in a blog post today. “SharePoint spaces empower creators to build immersive experiences with point-and-click simplicity.”
