Shownotes Transcript

XR is emerging as one of the most interesting digital technologies for 5G. The field is advancing quickly across Augmented, Virtual and Collaborative Realities, and we see real applications across various sectors like I4, maritime, education, and defence to name a few. At the same time, we observe the emergence of the Metaverse as the base platform where all the future realities will be developed. Additionally, there are projects that are integrating digital twins with the Metaverse and XR technologies to create amazing new immersive experiences. All these require a very powerful network and significant capabilities at the edge. And here comes 5G and 6G on the horizon.
