Takeaway

We discussed and shared our experience of building for XR and metaverse, and how it is impacting and challenging us. XR and metaverse are like a technology at the stage when first time Radio Frequency wave was invented, and everyone was thinking where can we use it. Imaginations were at its hype, people were thinking if we can transfer data over RF from one city to other city nearby it would change the world, and some we were imagining of connecting between states, countries and space. XR or Metaverse also at the stage where usecases are being explored in all different areas, it would be adapted along with the evoliutions.

In my previous article, I have defined current stage metaverse as a result of technology evolutions. NVIDIA Onmiverse will fuel the XR adaption, and were photo-realistic rendering would be possible at edge cloud and smart glass/XR would remain as at display device which can display graphics at good frame-rates, where frames are delivered from CloudXR. Content delivery and consumption is the key for XR solutions, and platform like Omniverse would definetely help here.

We have also discussed that technology should solve people’s problem, for example this new era of remote first digital transformation is one side connect the world more, and on other side it is reducing the emotional connect. We would need faster evolution, why are vehicles still driven by humans? why people participation required in wars to drive tank, fly aircraft? why a driver can’t work from home and drive a vehicle seating at their comfort? hope technology will some day take us there…

Happy learning!
