Paul Jacobs will give a live keynote about Extending Reality at our July 21 virtual event - VRARA Enterprise Forum, which is expected to gather 2000+ professionals from around the world.
Most real-world interactions involve multiple people and not just a single person. Why would the virtual world be any different? High fidelity experiences today tend to be tethered. What if those cables were cut? Have you felt motion sickness while using XR given the tethered experience can prevent natural movement though virtual spaces? What if you were able to walk through the content at your own pace instead of the experience coming at you?
The quality of content varies significantly depending on the type of headsets today, posing a challenge for the users and developers. What if the experience can be unlocked from the headset so developers can leverage high powered network elements to create the highest quality content without any constraints?
Paul founded XCOM in 2018 and at XCOM, they believe the best way to predict the future is to invent it. Earlier this year, XCOM unveiled their next-gen Wireless XR that enables the highest quality experiences for multiple users on-site while they move around freely. XCOM believes the possibilities for XR are endless.
