Last month Amazon quietly announced the ‘Wavelength’ platform as part of its Amazon Web Services (AWS) offering. The new ‘edge computing’ service promises “single-digit millisecond latencies” over 5G networks. These network hops can result in latencies of more than 100 milliseconds.
NGCodec , a cloud video processing company creating low latency codecs for video and interactive VR, announced the closure of an $8 million Series A funding round, bringing their total funds to $15.9 The post NGCodec Closes $8M Series A Investment, Aiming to Make Low Latency Cloud-based VR a Reality appeared first on Road to VR.
Rubin also touched on the reality of game streaming latency as it stands today, knowing that competitive and VR games share exceptionally demanding latency requirements which the service isn’t ready to handle just yet. This is cloud gaming after all, so even with latency-tolerant games players may notice some glitches. […].
SEE ALSO Amazon Promises "single-digit latency" for AR/VR Streaming Over 5G with AWS Wavelength. The project is being led by GSD Group; True North Studio, a Phoenix-based real estate developer, and Steve Wozniak’s Woz Innovation Foundation are helping to develop the first Atari-brand hotel.
Today during the company’s GTC 2021 developer conference, Nvidia announced that its CloudXR tech is now available on Amazon Web Services, and it’s coming soon to both Microsoft’s Azure cloud and Google Cloud. CloudXR is a specialized solution for the unique latency and performance requirements of VR and AR streaming.
5G, for example, is often generalized as a technology that will unlock spatial experiences due to faster speeds and low latency. “The big web-scale players like Google or Amazon [don’t] have data centers every 300 kilometers. “[Edge compute] would have to be actually quite close to you in the network,” she said.
Nowadays many cloud service providers design their own silicon, but Amazon Web Services (AWS) started to do this ahead of its rivals and by now its Annapurna Labs develops processors that can well compete with those from AMD and Intel. It should be noted that Amazon offers up to 64 vCPU cores with its R7g instances (i.e.,
For around $30 – $40, you can get a a number of white label straps similar to the regular Elite Strap on Amazon that essentially do the same job. USB-C cable will work, and there are tons on Amazon that will do the job. The better the connection, the lower the latency involved. Thankfully, any 3.0 Make Charging Easier.
Amazon promises “single-digit latency” XR streaming. Amazon has announced some weeks ago “Wavelength”, a new offering of its AWS services, that should provide “single-digit latency” over 5G networks. To have such a low latency, the company needs very fast 5G networks and edge servers very close to the client.
We are now at the level that we are super happy with the latency and deployments.”. Likewise, AutoDesk offers its XR cloud services through a partnership with Amazon. In a recent funding announcement , Varjo announced the most recent development in their cloud services. Not all XR companies offer their own cloud services.
Now, thanks to this move, you don’t have to care about anything at all: you can find on AWS a machine already configured with Cloud XR , already with the right specs of GPU, drivers, CPU, etc… It will be available on Amazon EC2 P3 and G4 instances which already support NVIDIA V100 and T4 GPUs. Cloud XR visual (Image by NVIDIA).
Varjo, NVIDIA, and Amazon Join Forces. This is all possible through Amazon Web Services and NVIDIA GPUs and reduces the necessary connected device for the user to a “low-end gaming laptop or middle-road engineering laptop,” according to Konttori. We are not at launch time yet.
Traditionally, leading tech vendors have invested in distributed network infrastructure, but many of them (such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft) are adapting to a new paradigm to support localized, persistent, collaborative, shared, multiuser interactions. The AR cloud is much more rich and complex than a simple database.
Buy on Amazon ($25) Lens Cleaning Pen Image courtesy CNBEYOUNG Apple hasn’t published a guide yet on exactly how to clean your Vision Pro. You can nab one for as low as $7 on Amazon, or a whole set with multiple brushes, wipes, carrying cases, the works. Available in clear, and black, red, blue, white, and grey.
Image latency. Oculus engineers have done an excellent job in reducing latency at minimum, and in fact, when I played with my Rift Q I couldn’t see any latency. Anyway, even if I couldn’t spot any latency, I could perceive it.
There are a number of third-party silicone covers on Amazon which fit right over the stock facepad, ranging from $10 to $15, and offer equal protection from face grime. Many on Amazon can even do fast charging , although getting one with data transfer is hit and miss. The better the connection, the lower the latency involved.
Since this connection is a “high-throughput and low-latency dedicated point-to-point Wi-Fi link”, and the communication between the headset and the PC happens via Meta’s proprietary VR algorithms for low latency wireless connectivity, the whole system should offer to you unprecedented quality in your wireless PCVR experience.
Amazon has for sure some servers in the region, so the streaming was happening from a close location. The problem of cloud rendering is not the one of making the system to work, is the fact that you must have a server close to you to have an acceptable latency , and this is not always possible at the moment. Final impressions.
Crowded networks at events can cause problems for some wireless systems; today’s wireless solutions sometimes mean additional latency, reduction in visual quality, and range restrictions compared to being directly attached to a back-mounted PC. In an ideal world, VR headsets would be self-contained, comfortable, and unobtrusive.
This is now only possible wearing a backpack PC and VR headset in special locations like Sandbox VR, Zero Latency, and Dreamscape. Ball is a former Amazon strategy executive turned investor. Click here for a list of the stocks held in the Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF, NYSE: META.
Of course, several third-party silicone covers are available on Amazon and from other vendors that will also fit over the stock face pad. Plus, plenty of third-party vendors on Amazon and other channels already offer dedicated options for the Quest 3. These are often cheaper and provide almost the same protection against face grime.
That brings the low-latency that AR needs, while unlocking the next generation of bandwidth-intensive spatial experiences. Because Google and Amazon don’t have data centers every 300 kilometers, infrastructure operated by telcos will have a key role in the geo-spatial AR future, otherwise known as the metavearth.
Pluto leverages Amazon Web Services, which has servers worldwide, so Pluto is available as long as there is a server near you. If you go to this online tool , you can estimate the network latency from your browser to AWS data centers. Currently supports Android, iOS, Hololens 2, and any device with a web browser.
Try placing it as far away from you as possible facing downward, ideally in a phone mount (you can find many on Amazon). Driver4VR's tracking quality isn't close to what you'd expect with actual trackers, and there is a short noticeable latency. The app doesn't seem to let you choose secondary ultra-wide cameras, at least on Android.
Mixed reality app installs will increase as digital assistants, such as Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri, become an integral part of the MR ecosystem. This means ultra-high-speed internet connection and very low latency. However, this requires miniaturization of the components, making the HDM comfortable to wear.
It seems that his first tests were so-so, but after a new firmware beta update, the system became quite accurate, and apart from some latency problems, it was able to track his body very well. Mocopi could be a good alternative to Vive Trackers for standalone VR users that want to have fun in VRChat.
As described in my first HTC Vive Tracker article earlier this year: “Vive Tracker is a wireless, battery-powered SteamVR tracked accessory that provides highly accurate, low latency 6 Degrees of Freedom (6DoF) motion tracking within a roomscale environment.”. Image by Rob Cole). This was quickly solved using a five meters long active USB 2.0
This offers the best image quality, cable length, latency and comfort possible, since it has been specifically designed for this purpose. While not offering top-notch quality and not charging your Quest while you use it, it works and it is very cheap.
A faster refresh rate means a smoother image which reduces latency and can improve comfort and immersion. Unfortunately keyboard tracking only currently works with a specific keyboard (the Logitech K830 [Amazon]), though Oculus says its working to add tracking for more keyboards in the future. Passthrough Background & Shortcut.
Of course, Microsoft and Amazon are observing the situation: in my opinion, Microsoft will wait a bit , considering its focus on AR enterprise with HoloLens, while Amazon could improve its already existing offering of glasses connected with Alexa. Its problem is the price: it is very expensive and it is intended for big corporates.
As I said in my post about ARKit, for sure with ARCore and Gear VR is possible to hack a 6 DOF headset, but its performances would be poor for a comfortable VR experience (where every little latency and tracking error lead to motion sickness of the user). So, it is ok for an experiment, but it is not ok for a commercial solution.
.” He also pointed out the development over at Amazon, where last month the company announced AWS Wavelength for ultra-low latency 5G computing at the edge, something that will have a direct impact on using and building the next generation of AR and VR headgear.
Calling all Shroud fans and League of Legends players: Two special themed editions of the Logitech G PRO Wireless Gaming Mouse are on sale at Amazon as of May 24. Their gear is high-spec yet fairly affordable, and it even goes on sale at Amazon somewhat regularly. at Amazon (save 31%). Credit: Logitech.
Just 6 hours after they were released on Amazon, they claimed the number one “bestseller” spot for the global marketplace’s Smart Glasses category. In the US, you can find them listed on Amazon and available through supermarkets like Walmart. Plus, they have a fantastic refresh rate to help reduce latency.
The device can connect wirelessly to a pair of Xreal smartglasses, or users can connect the products with a wire for improved latency. Xreal will soon make the Beam product available on Amazon for $109. The Beam attachment allows for 3 DoF, smooth following, side view, and adjustable virtual screen sizes.
compatible profiles, with speeds of DDR4-3200 and CAS latencies of CL 16. The PNY XLR8 Epic-X RGB memory will be available to buy from the 20th July at Amazon and Best Buy, while customers can also purchase them directly from the PNY online store. The PNY XLR8 Gaming Epic-X has been designed around support for X.M.P
NGCodec, a company that specializes in developing algorithms, silicon logic and FPGA implementations for cloud video processing, this week announced the availability of their potentially transformative cloud-based encoding technologies via the Amazon AWS Marketplace. The company’s RealityCodec acts as a low-delay H.265/HEVC
More info (Vive Cosmos Elite) More info (Amazon Prime Gaming) More info (Project Cars) More info (Steam Next Fest). Some news on content. Ultrawings 2 is reported to offer 40–60 hours of gameplay , quite a record for a VR game; Jurassic World Aftermath Part 2 is available on Quest for $14.99 , as a DLC for the first part of the game.
In fact, the 65-inch model just hit a new all-time-low price at Woot (an Amazon-owned daily deals site): As of May 13, you could order it there for just $1,579.99, or 31% off its usual retail price of $2,299.99. An Auto Low-Latency Mode and NVIDIA G-SYNC and FreeSync compatibility guarantee you smooth, lag-free action with minimal tearing.
It has also secured massive partnerships with key industrial heavyweights such as Amazon Web Services, NVIDIA, Verizon, Qualcomm, and many more. With the proof of concept (PoC) showcase, Hololight’s low latency, low loss scalable (L4S) solution revealed the capabilities such networking connectivity tools could offer enterprises.
Plus, this TV features a Low Latency Game Mode, which promises console commands to be executed on screen as instantaneously as possible, with minimal lag to blame poor performance on. With all these features, it's understandable that the Toshiba 75-inch UHD would cost well a thousand bucks, but it's on sale at Amazon for just $799.99.
Despite this board being ATX, ASUS includes just two memory slots with support for up to 64 GB of DDR4-4800 memory, which is likely to improve latencies and overall memory performance when overclocking memory. There are two full-length PCIe 3.0 slots which operate at x16 and x8/x8, with a half-length PCIe 3.0 x4 slot and a single PCIe 3.0
Plus, it gives you a 3DoF experience thats completely edge-to-edge, with virtually no latency whatsoever. According to XReal, the M2P latency is only around 3ms at 120Hz. To put that into perspective, the XReal Air 2 glasses have a latency of around 20ms. Even the Vision Pro has a latency of around 12ms.
Sure, you could always visit Amazon and nab the cheapest pair, but in our experience that’s a false economy. The codecs decode at a specific bitrate, which determines whether the headphones have a high or low latency (AKA lag), measured in milliseconds. Always do your research before buying a pair of headphones.
