This development will get additional support from the new Qualcomm platform. “With Snapdragon Spaces, Qualcomm Technologies emphasizes the importance of enabling developers to work in the future and thus paving the way for a new dimension in spatial computing,” said Hugo Swart, Vice President and General Manager, Qualcomm Technologies. , Inc. » We developed Snapdragon Spaces to support the democratization of XR with an open horizontal approach. We are pleased that Telekom and T-Mobile US are supporting us in marketing and realizing our idea.”

Long-term commitment to augmented reality
For years, Telekom has been committed to developing technology and exploring its possibilities.
