Qualcomm said at the MWC event that it has lined up 7 global operators to support XR devices using Snapdragon Spaces.
Qualcomm said it has lined up seven global telecommunications operators to leverage XR (extended reality) devices using Snapdragon spaces.
The operators include CMCC, Deutsche Telekom, KDDI Corporation, NTT QONOQ, T-Mobile, Telefonica, and Vodafone. All are working with Qualcomm on new XR devices, experiences, and developer initiatives with Snapdragon Spaces. The companies made the announcement at Mobile World Conference in Barcelona.
At MWC, KDDI and Qualcomm announced a multi-year collaboration, focused on the expansion of XR use cases and creation of a developer program in Japan. XR devices included augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality.
Equipment makers leveraging Snapdragon XR technology are designing a new wave of devices for operators and beyond. They include Xiaomi Wireless AR Glass Discovery Edition, and OPPO’s new mixed reality device and OnePlus 11 5G smartphone, which are both Snapdragon Spaces Ready.
Operators are leading a variety of investments around XR, and are using the cross-device and open ecosystem Snapdragon Spaces XR Developer Platform as the foundation, Qualcomm said.
Global operators are helping to define Snapdragon Spaces device requirements and compatibility that will give customers more options to wirelessly tether smartphones and glasses, champion these technologies on their networks, and launch regional developer programs that pioneer head-worn augmented reality (AR) experiences.
