Initially, the service offers multiple immersive spaces that can be used for meetings and social events.

The preview version, which will be available in the first half of 2022 will allow users to participate in Teams meetings with a unique avatar, video, and use a still image or an icon with their initials.

Katie Kelly, the company’s principal project manager, commented that the avatar’s facial expression will move in synch with the actual person’s movements, which is achievable by capturing the voice and reproducing it as a facial expression. Next, it will be made possible to utilize AI to guess the position of the mouth and imitate the movement of the head and face.
