Extended Reality (XR) refers to the spectrum of technologies that combine computer generated Virtual elements into the real environment.
XR encompasses Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Simulated Reality (SR) as well as other variations.
Cloud XR brings together Cloud-based technologies and XR to deliver superior experiences that revolutionise the consumption of content in both the consumer and the enterprise sectors.
Telecom operators play an important role in delivering the capabilities required by XR such as edge computing, high data transfer, low latency all of which will be delivered through the deployment of 5G.
Furthermore; the big storage and massive computing capabilities needs of XR are met by the deployment of Cloud technologies within operator 5G networks.
You’re invited to join the Future Networks 5G Cloud XR Summit where industry experts will discuss the following topics and more:
- Identify the key use cases in Cloud XR
- Investigate the value chain, stakeholders and business models
- Share case studies and best practices
