Huawei Shanghai 5G+XR Cloud Innovation Center goes online to accelerate the activation of Shanghai's 5G innovation value

Recently, Huawei's 5G+XR Cloud Industry Summit was successfully held in Shanghai. At the event, Huawei, Shanghai government and enterprise customers, and Internet industry partners discussed how to seize the development opportunities of emerging technologies, accelerate the release of 5G momentum, and comprehensively promote the development of Shanghai's XR industry.

As a new generation of information technology, 5G has become a strategic commanding height that countries around the world are vying for. Wan Jianhui, director of the Science and Technology Committee of Hongkou District, Shanghai, delivered a speech and pointed out that the 5G+VR industry has been listed as a key leading industry in Hongkou District. Now that 5G has moved from standards to applications, China's 5G will continue to set sail here. He said that in the future, relying on Huawei's cloud computing and cloud VR capabilities, in-depth cooperation will be carried out to truly realize the industrial agglomeration and empowerment upgrade of 5G+VR in Hongkou District, and will fully promote the construction of Hongkou into an innovation highland for the 5G+XR industry in Shanghai and even the Yangtze River Delta region.

After several years of development, VR/AR technology is realizing a revolution in the new experience of human-computer interaction, which is a revolutionary upgrade of computing power, connection and display. When VR/AR meets 5G, it will generate new fission and new momentum, releasing greater technological advantages. Zhao Qiyong, director of Huawei's 5G XLAB Laboratory, said that VR and 5G industries match and promote each other, and virtual technology creates real value. He introduced that VR will enter the "comfort stage" of experience with 5G, and will produce subversive experience in entertainment, education and other industries. At the same time, he also emphasized that the continuous evolution of technology has enabled the technical application difficulties of VR/AR to be overcome one by one; Huawei is positioning itself to build a VR "highway" to support the prosperity of the industry. In the 5G Cloud VR scenario provided by Huawei Cloud, the generation of virtual images is migrated from local to cloud, making the terminal simpler and the cost of use lower, promoting VR to thousands of industries.

At the same time, in addition to building a VR "highway", the construction of a VR ecosystem is equally important. At present, Huawei Cloud is also accelerating the prosperity of the VR ecosystem with the concept of win-win cooperation, such as cooperating with associations such as 3GPP to promote the establishment of cloud VR technical standards, and forming an industry alliance with Cloud AR/VR Forum; opening Huawei XLAB laboratory and communicating with more than 70 ecological partners. In addition, Huawei Cloud has provided a Cloud VR community platform to help offline VR developers and operators quickly go to the cloud, change their business models and service objects, and achieve business innovation.

In the future, relying on Huawei's 30 years of technological accumulation and experience in the ICT field, Huawei Cloud will continue to release its technological advantages in 5G, cloud, AI, etc., promote the construction of Shanghai's 5G+XR Cloud industry, and provide solid and strong technical support for Shanghai to build an outstanding global city.
