Many XR glasses share one feature: they are bulky and have a short battery life due to the computing power. The HyperRealityHub from Qualcomm and Vodafone is intended to help here.
The VisionPro from Apple is the best example of why Qualcomm and Vodafone developed the HyperRealityHub. The glasses have a fairly large footprint, are as heavy as a large iPad Pro and, thanks to their computing power, have a battery life of just two hours. If we want to get to the point where XR glasses are no longer distinguishable from conventional glasses, something has to change. Either all the internal components become smaller or they are stored on an external device or in the cloud.
HyerRealityHub: Achieving the goal of separating technology and sensors?
Qualcomm and Vodafone are pursuing the latter approach with the HyperRealityHub, an external device that is responsible for computing power and executing tracking functions. This solves exactly the problems mentioned above: glasses can be made lighter, which increases comfort and battery life. In addition, the hardware can be made cheaper in this way without having to compromise on the experience. The hub can of course also outsource certain tasks to the cloud via the 5G network for low response times.
In addition to the HyperRealityHub, there is also a Plus version. This allows multiple users to connect and send data via Wi-Fi 7 and 5G.
