Even if I am not there, I can be in an operating room with someone, so that we can then have the same physical feeling of presence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Educators or remote maintenance experts, for example, can use holograms to share knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has also put a holographic lab on the Ocean X research vessel. Scientists on board the ship can use the HoleLens headset to see what is happening underwater. And scientists onshore can teleport in to collaborate on their own research projects.<\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;new virtual collaboration platform is called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/mesh\">Microsoft Mesh<\/a>. It has already been integrated into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.altvr.com\/\">Altspace<\/a>, a virtual reality platform that Microsoft purchased in 2017.
