Sincere efforts from Microsoft has led to the development of Mixed Reality Academy in San Fransico. It’s a place to provide a community hub for creators and developers to learn, collaborate, and create a huge range of mixed reality content. Earlier, the company had demonstrated Windows Mixed Reality experiences at Microsoft Reactor – physical spaces that are open to host technical events, free of charge.

Mixed Reality Academy takes this concept, a step further. It aims to enable a broader ecosystem for mixed reality worldwide by reaching support partners, creative agencies, studios, application developers, and others dedicated to the concept. The idea is to create the most immersive mixed reality content possible.
