Now Qualcomm Wants to Help Build the Metaverse
Snapdragon Spaces is yet another mixed reality platform designed to support the coming wave of AR glasses
Described as a multi-device AR development platform and ecosystem, Qualcomm is hoping Snapdragon Spaces will provide the building blocks for creating new AR apps intended for next-gen headsets and beyond.
Qualcomm says Snapdragon Spaces is already in the hands of select developers via early access, with plans to make the platform more widely available starting in the spring of 2022. Unlike more traditional game development platforms like Unity or Unreal Engine, Snapdragon Spaces provides a slightly different set of development tools meant to better facilitate apps that need to recognize and interact with the real world using augmented reality thanks to support for spatial mapping, plane detection, object tracking and recognition (for things like hands), AR anchors, and more.
