1、The Future of XR ExperiencesWHITEPAPERadeia I The Future of XR Experiences I 2introduction Looking ahead toward the coming decade and the growth of extended reality(XR),new paradigms for user experience,new use cases and new device types will emerge.For this to happen,the industry must move beyond t
2、he limited approach of putting existing 2D experiences into virtual reality(VR)and augmented reality(AR).Often,developers leap headfirst into porting a 2D app into XR without fully thinking through the unique challenges and special considerations of the medium.Broadly speaking,XR is an umbrella term
3、 encompassing a wide range of VR and AR technologies.As XR becomes more prominent,the industry needs to focus on building XR-native applications,asking whether an application is something that can only be done in XR or can also be done in XR.XR-native applications are more useful and valuable for us
4、ers.To thrive,XR technology needs to inhabit an ecosystem of useable and secure devices,high-performance codecs,compelling applications,robust network enhancements and dynamic services.The user experience must be centered on intuitive and responsive user inputs,contextual awareness and a broader und
5、erstanding of user state and intent.Whats more,these new ecosystems must monetize in a variety of ways,so sustainable businesses can be built around them.This paper explores this market and its potential,then provides useful insight into key technology trends and areas for innovation.The following t
6、echnologies will be the focus of the discussion under the heading of XR:Virtual reality uses a head-mounted display (HMD)to immerse the user in 3D environments.VR is commonly used for gaming and training.Augmented reality overlays virtual objects onto the physical world and makes them viewable throu
