Windows Mixed Reality was a topic at Microsoft Inspire, especially bringing it to business applications. Microsoft showcased both Microsoft Remote Assist and Microsoft Layout, detailing how they’re empowering first line workers with mixed reality. They also talked about integrating Dynamics 365 with Mixed Reality Business Applications and with Microsoft 365 and Azure.
Later in the month at the Microsoft Business Applications Summit, Microsoft’s James Phillips, corporate vice president, Business Applications Group, discussed the work of Microsoft partners. He and other partners showcased how companies are working to bring together field service and finance and operations with mixed reality and IoT capabilities.
