CES 2022: Microsoft, Qualcomm Partner on Metaverse Chip for AR Glasses

Qualcomm said on Tuesday that it is working with Microsoft to develop a custom chip that will control lightweight augmented reality glasses for consumers and businesses to use in Metaverse applications.

At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said at a press conference that the two companies will cooperate to integrate custom chips with the software required by developers. Combine to create a virtual world in which people can work and play.

He said that the future equipment of the cooperation will be used in conjunction with a Microsoft software product called Mesh, allowing users to project their lifelike portraits into another user’s headset, making them feel like two people are in the same room. Future hardware will also use Qualcomm’s software called Snapdragon Spaces, which helps perform basic augmented reality functions, such as drawing physical spaces so that digital objects can be overlaid on them, and hand tracking so users can Operate these digital objects through gestures.

“For many years, we have been discussing the possibility of wearable augmented reality devices, which will expand in scale.” Amon is one of the few major technology executives who will not cancel his physical presence at the trade show. In the live conversation, he said that he was on the stage in Las Vegas.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
