But I would wait to rejoice from it: VR requires a very short motion-to-photon latency, and as of today no cloud rendering service can offer such low latency in every possible location of the user. The “metaverse” was not a key topic inside “Microsoft Build”. There’s still no word on when Mesh will be released. Other news.
