Even though the VR headsets are subject to smartphones, most of them have ended now, there are still some mixed experiences (XR) which can still be powered by our cellular devices. Apple’s vision for the AR ecosystem itself, for example, can be driven by the iPhone, but actually not the first to roam to that room. Qualcomm has long tried to make a breakthrough on Mobile XR, and the newest Snapdragon room made a big boost to lure the developer to jump on the platform, with some help from partners such as T-Mobile and 5G networks.
The Snapdragon room stacked on XR1 AR Smart Viewer company launched last February. In contrast to people like the look of Google’s daydream, you don’t need to weigh your head with a smartphone going on in the headset that Blocky. Unlike Standalone’s VR headsets like Quest Oculus 2, however, you still need to tether it to a smartphone supported by Qualcomm.
What added Snapdragon Spaces is a complete ecosystem of hardware and software tools to get developers quickly start developing AR content. Along with the hardware Dev Kit, Snapdragon spaces binds into popular graphics and gaming machines such as the Epic Games ‘Unreal Engine or Niantic Labs’ Lins launched. The aim is to help developers build AR imersive applications that can be distributed directly to consumers through regular application application channels.
To make Snapdragon spaces available more, however, Qualcomm needs to work with industrial partners who will help care for several sides of the AR platform, from smartphones to AR glasses to cellular networks. Thinkreality Lenovo A3 Smart Glasses and Motorola smartphones that are not named, for example, will be the first to commercialize this developer kit.
T-Mobile is also proud to announce that Qualcomm has chosen it as an exclusive partner in North America. In addition to access to the 5G network, the operator position as the material needed for such innovation, T-Mobile also uses its accelerator program to carry the Snapdragon room to startup and developers. All of these pieces will fall into place in the spring of 2022.
