Apparently, Microsoft has created a new Mixed Reality Studio that replaces its former Evoke Studio and other of its AR/VR/MR products, including Paint 3D, Mixed Reality Viewer and Remix3D. (Microsoft refers to these AR/VR/MR software assets as EDM, or "Every Day Magic," Sams says.)
While creating a separate new MR Studio -- whose mission seems to be to bring Mixed Reality to the workplace -- Microsoft is also reorganizing its NExT team. Microsoft created the NEXT team in 2016 as part of its 5,000-person AI + Research Group. NeXT, which stands for New Experiences and Technologies, handles data science, compliance, analytics and more AI-related functions.
