Microsoft is announcing some updates for the Mesh App for HoloLens today. These are designed around users and bringing new features like an improved user interface, as well as co-location, and new brushes. If you’re lucky enough to have a HoloLens headset and have been trying out the app to connect with your coworkers in a virtual space, here’s what you need to know.

We start first with the biggest change, the redesigned UI. With this new UI, the Microsoft Mesh app should feel a bit more cohesive and feel more enjoyable to use. Microsoft added in new menus, 3D assets, icons, animations, magic windows, and more. In addition, you’ll also find some new brushes. There are now 40+ new brushes to enjoy, as well as new brush sounds and animations.

More importantly, Microsoft Mesh now is able to work with the eye gaze interaction. This lets you use your eyes to select holographic content and menu items, rather than use your hands or hand rays. Note that this is experimental. Some other new features can be seen below.

Microsoft Mesh was first announcedback at Ignite 2021. It was the highlight feature of the conference and users are able to use the service to create virtual representations of themselves and connect virtually and share experiences for more immersive meetings.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
