/ Snapdragon Spaces

Qualcomm is enabling a world where everyone and everything can be intelligently connected. You interact with products and technologies made possible by Qualcomm every day, including 5G-enabled smartphones that double as pro-level cameras and gaming devices, smarter vehicles and cities, and the technology behind the smart, connected factories that manufactured your latest purchase. Our powerful connectivity solutions keep you connected—even in remote areas. Qualcomm 5G and AI innovations are the power behind the connected intelligent edge. You’ll find our technologies behind and inside the innovations that deliver significant value across multiple industries and to billions of people every day.

Develop unparalleled immersive headworn AR experiences that push the limits of creativity with Snapdragon Spaces. Add head-worn features to existing Smartphone apps or with familiar 3D tools, workflow, and app portability of leading 3D Engines Unreal Engine and Unity with support for Unity AR Foundation.

Snapdragon Spaces reduces developer friction providing a uniform set of AR features designed to be independent of device manufacturer. Snapdragon Spaces is compatible with the Khronos OpenXR specification to enable application portability and is the first headworn AR platform optimized for AR Glasses tethered to smartphones with a Khronos OpenXR standards conformant runtime. The platform enables developers to build 3D applications for AR glasses from scratch or add headworn AR features to existing Android smartphone applications to drive a unified, multiscreen experience between the smartphone screen in 2D and the real world in 3D.

The Snapdragon Spaces platform is built upon cutting-edge and proven machine perception technology. This technology provides environmental and user understanding capabilities optimized for performance and low power consumption to enable the next generation of AR Glasses. Qualcomm Technologies is an AR pioneer with over a decade of research and development, creating AR experiences that sense and intelligently interact with the physical environment as well as the user to create the illusion that AR experiences are a part of the real world.
