Varjo launches Reality Cloud platform so you can virtually visit a real place via ‘teleportation’
GamesBeat Summit 2022 returns with its largest event for leaders in gaming on April 26-28th. Reserve your spot here!
Varjo has launched its Varjo Reality Cloud platform, which enables someone to visit a place in virtual reality from a remote location. It’s a kind of teleportation that takes advantage of cloud streaming to capture and feed imagery for someone else to explore.
The Helsinki company said it allows even the most complex metaverse to stream in real-time to supported devices for both professional and consumer users.
Varjo makes high-end VR/XR (virtual reality/extended reality) headsets for enterprises and high-end consumers. Now the commercial availability of the Varjo Reality Cloud platform will give those enterprises some new applications, such as remote maintenance.
Long term, the company wants to build the ultimate hardware/software stack for scaling high-performance immersive computing across all headsets, regardless of manufacturer.
Varjo Reality Cloud is powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) in addition to state-of-the-art Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) and can run graphically-intensive virtual- and mixed-reality applications across any device. That is, someone can scan in their environment with a high-end Varjo headset, but the spectator from afar can access that environment with a variety of devices. And the spectator does not have to look exactly where the person who is scanning the environment is looking.
With Varjo’s proprietary foveated transport algorithm, users can stream immersive content from Varjo Reality Cloud to devices with a lossless visual fidelity via a compression rate of 1000:1, and a bandwidth of 35 megabits-per-second via highly secure, enterprise-grade data encryption.
