To bring high-quality visualization during the team meeting or conference Microsoft has introduced a feature called Azure remote rendering which connects cloud with VR devices to render and convert objects into real-time models to have a quality 3D interactive session between employees, customers, and external stakeholders.

By combining the content platform SharePoint and azure mixed reality Microsoft users can leverage data present in the cloud CMS to design a 3D immersive insight on reports, infrastructure design, architectural design, modeling, etc. This makes them avoid costly mistakes during building a realistic model.
