Qualcomm’s new XR2 5G chip is set to unleash a new standard for virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality. From smart glasses to AR games, the new chips from Qualcomm, coupled with the speed and processing power of 5G, will open a whole new world of communication possibilities.
As we mentioned, the Qualcomm XR2 5G chips are set to unleash technology like virtual reality in a way we’ve never experienced. From real-time updates during VR experiences to the bandwidth needed to create truly immersive experiences to VR glasses with up to seven cameras, the promise of 5G and fast gaming will finally enter the mainstream.
With the rise of chips and processing that can handle 5G data finally making it to market, augmented reality is also going to change the way we see the world around us. No longer just for silly games, AR will be used by professionals from utility line workers to auto mechanics to make their work safer, more efficient, and less expensive.
Companies are now using 5G to bring people together via holographic images, regardless of the hardware a person has. From phones to headsets, the future of business communications and meetings will no longer be restricted by space or access to a specific technology; it can all be handled with 5G.
Having a 5G connection on your laptop means you get all the rapid data, incredibly fast processing, and instant connection you would get from a huge desktop PC, right into your laptop. There will be no longer a need to spend thousands of dollars of a huge desktop work station, but instead a few hundred dollars on a 5G laptop. It will all be easier and faster in the world of 5G.
