“5G will replace Artificial Reality, which will enliven 5G,” said Huawei Business Group Chief Marketing Officer’s Network Marketing Office Bob Cai during his speech at the Huawei Summit for a Better World with 5G and Artificial Reality (AR).
Cai delivered a speech on “5G + AR, turning dreams into reality” during the event, where he also announced the publication of the White Paper on Artificial Reality Vision and Practice Application.
This innovation provides knowledge in the AR industry about devices, applications and networks. He called on the entire industry to work together for a rich 5G and AR ecosystem.
Artificial Reality creates a new space
Huawei and third-party data predict that the market value of Artificial Reality will reach $ 300 billion by 2025.
“AR will initially be able to adapt to the top five industries, such as education, social media, shopping, travel and navigation, and games,” Cai said. “Artificial reality can really enable the union of the physical and digital worlds, making dreams come true.”
Artificial Reality makes communication more efficient
During the event, Cai shared Huawei case studies where Artificial Reality was used. Due to the pandemic, customers all over the world find it impossible to physically visit Huawein, so the company has used Artificial Reality to demonstrate its key products and solutions via the internet, making communication more efficient.
Huawei also uses AR to achieve faster distribution of 5G base stations, thus increasing distribution efficiency more.
Huawei Simplifies Artificial Reality
At the event, Cai demonstrated how Huawei “produces” Artificial Reality. Huawei Air Photo uses unique algorithms to convert a 2D photo into a 3D digital model, significantly simplifying AR 3D shape modeling.
Cai also introduced Huawei’s AR (AR Engine) mechanism, the company’s artificial intelligence-oriented mobile device development platform. With AR Engine, developers will only need to write 10 lines of code to create Artificial Reality effects, greatly increasing the development efficiency of these applications.
The whole industry needs to work together to create a 5G + AR ecosystem
The Information and Communication Technology Services represented by AR could potentially adapt to a wide range of industries, including industrial manufacturing, e-commerce, real estate, home decor, culture, sports, tourism, healthcare and education.
AR applications have become a key mechanism for digital transformation and will profoundly change production methods and lifestyles.
At the end of his speech, Cai said, “If you want to walk fast, walk alone. If you are going to go far, walk with others. The development of Artificial Reality requires the whole industry to work together and create a rich value chain for 5G + AR. Artificial reality and 5G are being combined at the right time. ”
