Qualcomm Launches World's First Expanded Reality (XR) Dedicated Platform

May 29, 2018, Santa Clara, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, launched the world's first expanded reality (XR) at a press conference held prior to the Augmented World Expo (AWE). Dedicated platform - Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM XR1 platform.

XR1 is a next-generation platform that provides mainstream users with a high-quality XR experience while supporting OEMs to develop mainstream terminals. The XR1 platform is also specifically optimized for augmented reality (AR) experiences, providing better interaction through artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. Sex, power performance and thermal efficiency.

Qualcomm Technologies also announced that vendors such as Meta, Vive, Vuzix, and Pico have developed based on the first dedicated XR1 platform.

Alex Katouzian, senior vice president and general manager of mobile services at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., said: "As technology evolves and consumer demand grows, we expect that XR terminals will play a broader role in the daily lives of consumers and producers. With integrated powerful visual, high-fidelity audio and rich interactive experience, the XR1 will help create a new era of high-quality, mainstream XR terminals for consumers.

The XR1 integrates Qualcomm Technologies' heterogeneous computing architecture, including ARM-based multi-core CPUs, vector processors, graphics processors (GPUs), and the Qualcomm® artificial intelligence engine AI Engine. Other key features include the advanced XR software service layer, machine learning, Xiaolong XR Software Development Kit (SDK), and connection and security technology from Qualcomm Technologies.

The XR1 platform also provides an artificial intelligence engine AI Engine that supports terminal-side processing. The engine allows customers to process AI use cases and run computer vision algorithms based on high-performance, energy-efficient machine learning to help achieve key AR application scenarios such as better Posture prediction, object recognition classification, etc.

Visual technology With support for high-definition 4K video resolution (4K@60fps) at high frame rates of 60 frames per second for high quality VR head-mounted displays (HMDs), the XR1 platform will allow consumers to immerse themselves in their favorite movies, shows and In Sports. The new dedicated hardware and software algorithms in the Qualcomm SpectraTM Image Signal Processor (ISP) can significantly reduce unwanted noise in the capture and dramatically improve the final picture in high-quality AR helmets. The integrated display processor can be a Series display options provide hardware-accelerated compositing, dual-screen support, 3D overlay, and leading graphics API support including OpenGL, OpenCL and Vulkan. The platform also features advanced visual processing based technologies such as VIL ), etc., allowing users to move freely in the virtual world or interact with virtual objects in the AR experience.

Audio frequency The XR1 platform features Qualcomm Technologies 3D audio suite, Qualcomm AqsticTM audio technology and Qualcomm® aptXTM audio, supporting high-fidelity audio experience and 'always on, always listening' voice assistance, and Bluetooth playback capabilities. XR1's head-related transform functions ( Head-related transfer functions, HRTF) can be used to 'customize' synthetic binaural sounds according to the user's ear and ear delivery parameters, allowing the user to feel as if the sound came from a particular location in space.

Interactive With 3DoF (3DoF) and 6DoF (6DoF) head tracking and controller capabilities for XR terminals, the XR1 opens up entirely new XR experiences for mainstream users, enabling them to move freely not only in the virtual world like never before. It can also interact and play in it. The integrated sensor hub and optimized sensor fusion capabilities allow users to experience rich interactions, and the motion-to-display latency will be well below the 20 milliseconds required by the technology.
