Verizon Tests 5G GPU-Based System for VR, AR, Other Uses

Verizon is building a graphics processing unit-based system that will mean better use of virtual reality, mixed reality, augmented reality and cinematic reality for 5G, the carrier said Friday. “These capabilities could pave the way for a new class of affordable mobile cloud services, provide a platform for developing ultra low-latency cloud gaming, and enable the development of scalable GPU cloud-based services," Verizon said: “Because of the heavy imaging and graphics that would benefit from this technology, many of these applications will run significantly better on a GPU.”
