If you didn’t already know, Qualcomm had unveiled a VR headset reference design earlier last year but we hadn’t gotten any updates in this department – until today. The American chipmaker today committed to making VR/AR headsets mainstream and launched the new Snapdragon XR2 platform at Snapdragon Tech Summit in Hawaii.
Snapdragon XR2 supports display panels with a 3K x 3K resolution at a 90Hz refresh rate for each eye. You can playback 360-degree 8K resolution videos at 60fps on this platform, with HDR10 and HDR10+ support for a more immersive experience. The custom silicon is helping keep the latency super low, thus, making such resolutions a reality.
