How
Microsoft is charting its Metaverse entry /
Business Line / 19 Jan 2022
Extract :
Calendar year 2022 will
be significant for Microsoft in India as it charts the initial progress of its
metaverse plans and new product launches. The company told BusinessLine that
its Mesh for Teams
metaverse offering will go live in the country in the first half of the year.
Its metaverse building
block Microsoft Mesh complements its
mixed reality hardware HoloLens 2.0. The company has also announced a public
preview of two solutions in India :
# the Microsoft Mesh app, where you can view in 3D; and
# the Altspace VR, which will be used to hold meetings, town-halls in virtual reality and 2D
mode on PCs.
Microsoft India,
interestingly, is also getting vocal about creating an open ecosystem for its next phase of metaverse-backed growth.
An open ecosystem might
become a pre-requisite for building cross-platform
experiences once metaverse becomes a
mainstream reality.
Rajiv
Sodhi, Chief Operating Officer, Microsoft India, [ rajiv@microsoft.com ]. told BusinessLin
:
“As we
develop for a metaverse-powered future, we have a foundational belief in open
ecosystems, where identities and content easily flow between
experiences, regardless of platform, and should not be controlled by a
platform broker.
We
believe this is necessary to fully unlock the promise of the
metaverse. What we have announced so far is our metaverse platform
called Microsoft Mesh, which will enable developers in the ecosystem to
start building solutions for the metaverse-shared digital
workspaces.”

Metaverse
features are being integrated differently into the various verticals of
Microsoft’s business, says Praveen Mellacheruvu, Country Head-Business
Applications, Microsoft India.
“If I
look at metaverse, it is manifesting
itself in different ways in different parts of the Microsoft Cloud stack.
On the Azure side, there’s Mesh. On Teams and productivity, there’s metaverse
use cases,” he told BusinessLine.
“And
Dynamic suite is still a bit old school till now and primarily focussed on
solving some critical problems around businesses over remote access. For
instance, help someone repair a complex set of machinery sitting 10,000 km
away. This is where it uses HoloLens to spot where the machine is.
That’s
where Dynamic is adding value
through technology for use cases
like maintenance, services, training and audit, to name a
few, and how to do this remotely.
This is gaining traction during the pandemic,” Mellacheruvu added.
According
to Sodhi, Microsoft Cloud provides
comprehensive set of capabilities to power metaverses that blend the physical and digital worlds by
connecting and creating digital twins
of places, people and things, and enabling collaboration in mixed reality.
“Our IoT capabilities enable customers to
connect to physical assets and create their digital twins in the cloud. Our AI capabilities help
reason on this data and enable natural interactions using powerful speech and
vision machine-learning models. Microsoft Mesh transforms collaboration and
connection by creating a shared sense of presence from anywhere, on any device,”
he said.

Parallel to the Theory of Thermodynamics , I would like to propound the
following as far
as the “ Theory of Information “ is concerned :
“ Like Entropy, content keeps growing with each and every human interaction ,
either with other humans or
remain hidden , nor can it be destroyed "

Data
becomes an Air Molecule…………………………………… [ 30
July 2019 ]
What is heartening is that many respectable persons and organizations have
joined together to “ release the content “ from its various “ bondages “ of
websites – apps – databases – hardware – software applications – operating
systems etc
“ At the rate at which data is getting generated / transmitted / transformed /
mutated / migrated / consumed , by 7 billion citizens of the World, all without
their knowledge or permission , is it at all possible to even “ define “ what is DATA
( and what is not ) , much less possible to “ protect / confine “ it in any
manner ?
Is it possible that “ indestructability “ of Data renders futile all questions as to its
“ Beginning / Origin
“ or its “ End “ ?
Will any Data Protection Law become
obsolete even before the President signs it ?

# Technology has advanced so far –
and continues to accelerate even faster –
that it is possible to treat “ Content (
personal / private data ) “ like an air
molecule , which keeps travelling freely around
the earth and gets inhaled a
trillion times ( content consumption ) by a billion humans .
Introduction of 5G and Li-Fi technologies will speed up this process even
further
# With the arrival of Quantum Computing , it
will soon become possible for the
same content ( personal / private
data ) , to exist simultaneously at
multiple
places , but in differing formats

500 years later, on 07 July 2017 , I re-envisioned above prophesy ( no doubt,
cooked up by me ! )
in :
2024 ! – V 2.0 of Orwellian 1984 ?
where I talked of how technology is on its way to capture ( from every human
being ) ,
· “
SOUND WAVES “ ( Audio )
· “ LIGHT WAVES “ ( Video )
· “ TOUCH WAVES “ ( Feel the SKIN )
· “ SMELL – TASTE “ WAVES
· “ BRAIN WAVES “ ( EEG )
Even though this might have sounded a bit Nostradamus-like 17 months ago, it
seems just around the corner !
Read
what Microsoft President Brad Smith said 2 days
back :
“For the first time, the world is on the threshold of technology that would give a
government the ability to follow anyone anywhere, and everyone everywhere.
It could know exactly where you are going, where you have been and where you
were yesterday as well.
And this has profound potential ramifications for even just the fundamental civil
liberties on which democratic societies rely.
Before we wake up and find that the year 2024 looks like the
book ‘1984,’
let’s figure out what kind of world we want to create, and what are the safeguards
and what are the limitations of both companies and governments for the use of this
technology. ”

Question to be asked – and answered – is :
Will proposed DATA PROTECTION BILL , manage to “ protect “ personal data ?
To me, the answer appears to be a resounding, NO !
