NVIDIA CloudXR

CloudXR breaks the confines of traditional VR and AR, delivering streaming of XR content to untethered devices with a level of fidelity that’s indistinguishable from native tethered configurations. Once installed, CloudXR lets you leverage NVIDIA RTX and NVIDIA Quadro powered servers with GPU virtualization software to stream stunning augmented and virtual reality experiences from any OpenVR application. This means you can run the most complex VR and AR experiences from a remote server across 5G and Wi-Fi networks to any device, while embracing the freedom to move—no wires, no limits.

To access the rendering power needed to drive the richest immersive environments, current professional VR/AR solutions require a physical tether to a high-performance computer. NVIDIA^® Quadro^® GPUs powering CloudXR encode and stream the visuals to a thin Windows or Android client device. By dynamically adjusting to network conditions, CloudXR maximizes image quality and frame rates while minimizing effective network latency and stuttering.

The next generation of mobile networks offers ultra-low latencies that will expand the world of augmented and virtual reality. Running RTX-powered servers on the edge with CloudXR yields remarkable streaming graphics performance. By utilizing the high bandwidth and low latency of 5G networks, you can stream expansive VR and AR experiences to professional users at the edge.

CloudXR combines the performance of EGX Server with NVIDIA’s GPU virtualization software, the Quadro Virtual Workstation (Quadro vDWS), to securely enable multi-tenant deployments, a common requirement among telecommunications (telco) and service providers. GPU virtualization also allows multiple virtual machines to access a GPU when the workload is lighter, optimizing for user density and operating costs. Manageability is streamlined with support for both VMware and Red Hat virtualization platforms and supporting management tools.

Driving virtualized XR experiences from the edge requires expertise across cloud orchestration, visual computing and AI, virtualization, 5G network operations, and more. Visualization is streamlined at the edge with the NVIDIA EGX Server CloudXR 5G MEC DevKit, a full stack hardware and software solution powered by NVIDIA. Supported by EGX Server-validated systems, the DevKit combines Quadro RTX^™ GPUs with Quadro vDWS software, the CloudXR SDK, and third-party applications, so developers can run VR, AR, and virtual GPU experiments across 5G and Wi-Fi networks.
