October 26, 2017
Huawei has officially released its Virtual Reality (VR) OpenLab industry cooperation plan, at Ultra-Broadband Forum (UBBF 2017) in China, to promote the prosperity of Cloud VR, facilitate technological innovations, incubate business scenarios, and construct a comprehensive Cloud VR industry ecosystem.
The VR OpenLab industry cooperation plan aims to help upstream and downstream partners jointly explore the development path of the Cloud VR industry. VR OpenLab will focus on four research directions: business application scenarios, service solutions, bearer network innovations, and operators’ service implementation. Through end-to-end industry cooperation, VR OpenLab bridges the ecosystem breakpoints and fully promotes the commercial popularisation of VR.
As the initiator of the VR OpenLab industry cooperation plan, Huawei will focus on supporting the development of the cooperation plan relying on iLab. By providing a 1,000 m2 R&D lab, E2E network devices, and dozens of experts, Huawei will cooperate with industry partners for joint innovations, facilitating business success. Currently, 30 partners have already joined the VR OpenLab industry cooperation plan.
During UBBF 2017, Huawei and partners jointly demonstrated multiple innovations, including Cloud VR videos, Cloud VR games, VR live broadcast, remote large-space VR e-Sports and live broadcast, VR social fitness, and VR music.
