This took a lot of people by surprise, because, as we all know, VR is very sensitive to latency. But it turns out that by being highly responsive to networking conditions and by efficiently eliminating perceived latency, we’re able to deliver robust, high-quality XR streaming. Most recently, we’ve taken XR to the cloud.
