Snapdragon Technology Summit What is the next hot spot after mobile phones? Qualcomm and Meta executives believe that this is Metaverse and a certain type of headwear that can provide context, so you don’t have to pull the device out of your pocket.
“Augmented reality will eventually replace mobile devices,” Meta’s chief technology officer Andrew Bosworth claimed in a conversation with Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon.
The conversation appears to take place between the cartoon version of the executives in the Yuanjie conference room. At the Snapdragon Technology Summit in Hawaii, Amon’s keynote speech demonstrated this exchange.
“Metaworld” is a buzzword in a parallel digital world, in which individuals represented by avatars can play, work, and interact. second Life Is an early version of Metaverse, but the concept has recently been adopted such as my world with Fort night, And platforms like this Rob Rox.
Meta, formerly Facebook, is betting on the future of its social network in virtual reality, where friends can meet in a virtual world instead of sending text messages.
Bosworth and Amon seem to have zeroed in on glasses, just like Google Glass, becoming a bridge for people to enter the digital world. Bosworth expressed a hopeful tone of being able to make hardware such as glasses or equip mobile devices with technology that enables people to perceive the presence of each other’s avatars.
“You take it with you when you travel. It’s always contextual. You don’t have to take it out of your pocket,” Bosworth said, adding: “Can we put it together? It’s up to you. It is possible to efficiently use power and thermal space in these tiny dimensions.”
Meta’s bulky Oculus Quest 2 headset uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chip. Bosworth was recently appointed CTO of Meta and is laying the technical foundation for the company’s VR future.
Bosworth also said that in terms of productivity and collaboration, the metaverse computing model will be larger than laptops and desktops.
“All of this will be supported by artificial intelligence, which helps users process and understand the world around them,” he said.
Although Bosworth painted a picture of Meta Universe in its early stages, Qualcomm’s Amon said that his company has invested in Meta Universe technology for 10 years. In addition to smartphones, the company’s Snapdragon chip has 1,600 designs, 50 of which are commercial headsets.
“It’s easy to see how the developer ecosystem has matured… Whether it’s business, education, or entertainment, we can all wear convenient glasses,” he claimed.
He gave an example of AR glasses, which covered information about the car, such as the service life of certain parts, to help with repairs. ®
