Microsoft launches SharePoint spaces for building immersive experiences

Microsoft has announced SharePoint spaces, an all-new platform that allows you to create and view Mixed Reality experiences.

Sharepoint spaces comes with templates for creating 3D models or 360-degree videos which can be viewed in Mixed Reality headsets or browsers which support WebVR, Engadget reported. The platform is as easy to use as PowerPoint and allows you to create immersive experiences with just a point-and-click. Sharepoint spaces is just another step by Microsoft towards AR. 

Recently, Intel and Microsoft disclosed a newly found variant of the security flaws revealing another vulnerability in chips used in hundreds of millions of computers and mobile devices, Cnet reported. The new strain is called Variant 4 and uses a different method to extract sensitive information from computers. It uses Speculative Store Bypass method which could allow your processor to load sensitive data to potentially insecure spaces. It taps into many of the same vulnerabilities that were first revealed in January.

The new strain is being classified as medium risk because many of the exploits it uses in web browsers were fixed in the original set of patches. However, the flaw has not been used by hackers. Intel is releasing a complete fix for the flaws over the coming weeks.
