Meta Quest 3: GOLF+ plans to launch a mixed reality mini golf mode
The popular VR golf game GOLF+ is getting a mixed reality mini-golf mode that uses real-world space. There will be a selection of ready-made courses and the ability to create your own. Custom courses can be shared and rated among players, and a local multiplayer is also planned. The new mixed reality mode will be exclusive to Quest 3 and will be part of the main game. The mode is scheduled for release before Christmas. Developer GolfScope Inc. is currently working on a way to automatically generate courses based on physical rooms, but cannot yet confirm whether this feature can be realized.

Microsoft Teams will soon enable immersive 3D meetings with avatars
Microsoft is integrating its mixed reality platform, Microsoft Mesh, into Microsoft Teams. This enables immersive 3D meetings and events with avatars within Teams. Spatial audio and integrated audio zones enable multiple simultaneous conversations in the same room. Although a VR headset is not required for 3D teamwork, the experience is much more immersive. The Mesh platform is expected to be introduced to Teams in January next year. Despite the integration, Microsoft Mesh will remain a standalone platform.
