Pathways to AR/VR
5G networks, CloudXR, Edge Computing, industrial digitization
What are the technologies, systems, and infrastructures supporting the spread of AR/VR applications and how are they related? The 5G mobile network plays a leading role: broader bandwidth and lower latency enable creators to offer better AR/VR experiences from the point of view of real-time video quality and speed; it is also a key component in the development of Cloud AR and edge computing systems making them able to process huge amounts of AR/VR content. Nvidia’s CloudXR announcement and the article on 5G shed light on what are the implications, and the challenges to overcome before making immersive technologies, wildly available.
Other highlights in this month’s issue: Google just launched Pixel 4 with the Soli technology, an innovative radar system than can track the movements of hands in the air. It may be embedded in future AR devices. Industrial leaders call for higher standardization of IT systems and collaboration with providers to digitize factories with ease. The Italian Chapter of the VR/AR Association held an event for business leaders in Milan to update them on the latest AR/VR solutions.
Also, not appearing in an article here, but we must add the news that Microsoft just started to take preorders for the HoloLens 2, the most anticipated headset of the year. NReal announced the same thing for its Light smart glasses. The AR/VR community is filled to the brim with excitement!

AIXA 2019 - Business Training AR/VR
For the first time ever, the Italy Chapter of the worldwide VR/AR Association met up at AIXA – Artificial Intelligence Expo of Applications to present the state of the art of these technologies paired with real use cases and interviews to leaders of companies that have already implemented AR/VR solutions. Read on JoinPad
The future of AR is sophisticated and beautiful. It enhances and is in sync with the physical world; it does not replace or supplant it.
— Helen Papagiannis
Besides wearables and software technical difficulties, AR/VR companies must also deal with network-related challenges connecting IoT and AI systems. By establishing open collaborations with other members of the ecosystem, we can overcome hurdles faster and push the technology forward.
