A crisis always brings new ways of seeing the world and living in it. The pandemic showed us that we often cannot be physically close to people and brought the challenge of maintaining proximity in other ways, giving way to technology to act. Today, with the help of virtual reality and augmented reality, we can carry out actions within extended reality. Understand more about XR and how it can affect our lives in the future.

 

What is XR


Virtual and augmented realities together form a new concept called extended reality (XR), touted as the future of mobility. It's characterized by offering other types of interaction in addition to vision, hearing, or touch, allowing sensations through simulators. This new language is revolutionizing different sectors, but the evolution of XR will take many years, and the technologies are more and more impressive.

Major tech companies are building a part of the metaverse for themselves. Facebook, for example, recently changed its name to “Meta” already announcing its commitment to the metaverse.

 

But what does Extended Reality have to do with data storage, and why are we talking about it here?


XR technologies require a lot of data in addition to other technologies used by developers like 5G Networks, Machine Learning, and IoT.
It's great that we start investing in this type of technology, either internally or for campaigns with clients and users. But of course, with this, you will need more space for storing data and building your part of the metaverse.
