Qualcomm Blog – 3.20.19 (3.18.19)
At Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (QTI), we continue to innovate and transform XR performance and portability to enrich consumer lives and deliver premium XR experiences anywhere. A few weeks ago, we announced broad ecosystem support for XR viewers, which provides immersive experiences by way of 5G smartphones tethered to a light AR glass or VR HMD. At MWC 19, we also showed a live Boundless XR over 5G demonstration, with split processing between device and edge cloud, enabling photorealistic, high-quality, immersive experiences. Today at GDC 2019, we are thrilled to announce optimizations to our Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 VR Reference Design to enable a dual-mode HMD and expand our offerings to include the PC-ecosystem with Boundless XR for PC. Our Snapdragon 845 VR Reference Design now features 60-GHz wireless providing a robust, low latency (motion to photon under 20 ms), optimized for split-processing between PC and VR HMD.
