As Extended Reality (XR) devices become more complex and functional, and their uses extend well beyond conventional gaming applications, unfailing reliability and comfort of extended reality materials is required. Henkel’s comprehensive and versatile material solutions, engineering know-how, and global applications support help you develop lightweight, power-conserving, high-functioning devices.
Our point of view, the tech trends shaping the future of XR devices are:
- Optical, display, and other sensing components require continuous performance upgrades, while minimizing size for better environmental perception and image display capabilities.
- Integration of generative AI functionality needs improved chip performance and better heat dissipation.
- Consumers want miniaturization, lightweighting, and comfortable wearability.
As of 2024, 800G/1.6T is the gold standard in data center technology, transmitting at 800 gbps (gigabits per second). The United States currently leads the world in 800G adoption, with 59% of companies upgrading their data centers to hardware with 800G capabilities and only 11% experiencing data center-related challenges. This is owed largely to U.S.-based companies like Meta and Google, which are pioneering AI technology. What can European companies do to get up to speed with AI and 800G adoption?
