Consumer XR has reached greater popularity than ever before, but it’s still not at the phase of mass consumer adoption that experts expect it to reach in the next few years. One major change that could see consumer XR reach new heights is the growth of 5G.
The power of 5G has already enabled more beautiful, intricate, and sophisticated XR experiences than ever before, but 5G is only accessible to certain phone models. Even if you have a 5G-enabled phone, 5G access is more finicky than 4G, and service isn’t consistent across locations.
Join us at AWE Nite: 5G and the XR Future for a discussion on what steps telecommunications companies can and are taking to bring 5G to more people than ever before, and what that new connection means for XR.
WHEN: March 16 at 12pm EDT / 9am PDT / 4pm GMT
