Enable advances of the next-generation XR 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.

Five Dimensions of XR Device Assemblies

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?
