One of my favorite things about Microsoft Office is that different applications work together. To keep myself organized while taking notes, I can create task that come up during a meeting, and I don’t have to open a new application to get a reminder in Outlook. I can share my notebook with someone else and link to other documents I am working on, so everyone has access to the information they need all in one central location. I wanted to show you how some of these incredible features work together all from within your OneNote Notebook.

Additionally, complex transformations needed to be considered and Databricks was required. One of the requirements was to compare multiple streaming and transformation approaches which culminated in Azure Data Explorer (ADX).

Mixed reality app and game creators use a broad range of tools and hardware to support their solutions and creative vision. According to SlashData (2022), “Thirty-seven percent of AR/VR practitioners target both AR and VR and 61% of AR/VR developers target three or more platforms”. That’s why cross-platform tools, like MRTK3, that work across the full spectrum of mixed reality devices are important to making app creation less fragmented and, therefore, less time-consuming. The growing adoption of OpenXR has been key to moving towards a more builder-friendly MR ecosystem. OpenXR is an open royalty-free API standard from Khronos that provides native access to a wid…

Empowering today’s digitally connected, distributed workforce requires the right culture powered by the right technology. One critical challenge facing employees, whether remote or in the office, is the hidden cost of context switching between applications. The traditional workplace model is centered around business applications and requires users to constantly switch between siloed apps, distracting from the flow of work and putting the burden on the user to retain context. Quantifying the impact on business productivity, a recent Harvard Business Review article found that employees on average waste 10% of their day reorienting to new context. Collaborative ap…
