It's such a privilege to play a part in building technology that feels indistinguishable from magic.

PSA, please RT. This is an amazing opportunity to learn to videoconference. It's really easy: video ON, mute OFF. Yes, for the whole meeting. Yes, that means you have to actually participate. If you can't, then take the time back. We'll call you if we need you.

I work with an amazing team that cares about building the right thing & building it right; that values cutting-edge research as well as precision engineering; and that has the expertise & ambition to transform the way we work and communicate. We're hiring! careers.microsoft.com/us/en/job/7541…

When Jingjing and @_tim_hutton_ proposed this idea for optimizing the HoloLens 2 hand tracker, I was convinced it wouldn't work. They proved me wrong and gave us 4x faster surface evaluation. Building a product that our customers love required a blend of engineering and research.

Here are the latest Pillar 2 capacity and tests. The capacity figures haven't been published since 10 August (two days after the Head of Testing and NHS Test and Trace made her statement). My question: what is the current capacity in Pillar 2, and how is this figure calculated?

Internships in our team are a brilliantly creative and educational experience, particularly for the project mentors! I learnt so much from this year's interns: can't wait to see what we build with the students who join us next year.

Another great event is coming up, and this time Datagen and Machine & Deep learning Israel are partnering to bring you an event all about Synthetic data! Check out this impressive list of speakers :) Link to register: bit.ly/3dscoGn

This past year as we've all been physically separated, it has been amazing to work on bringing Microsoft Mesh to life, and imagine ways to bring people together even when we're apart youtube.com/watch?v=Jd2GK0…

We're #hiring! Interested in coming to work on virtual presence technologies for #MicrosoftMesh youtube.com/watch?v=Jd2GK0… and #HoloLens in one of our Mixed Reality & AI Labs in Belgrade, Cambridge, or Zurich? linkedin.com/posts/jamie-sh…

Interns play a huge part in the life of the Mixed Reality & AI Lab and make a real difference in our mission to build the future of communication & collaboration. If you're interested in pushing the boundaries of mixed reality by innovating in vision, graphics & ML, come join us!

Have you ever worked with a remote collaborator on 3D graphics/vision and wished you could interact with the same visualizations with the full 3D context? ScenePic is great for this: zero-install, single file, animatable, with configurable layers to customize views. Check it out!
