The cloud XR platform supports the rapid landing of immersive experience applications

In recent days, , Alibaba cloud and parallel cloud jointly release cloud XR platform , Reduce the development threshold of cloud Vision Computing Applications , Accelerate digital twins 、 Virtual human 、 Virtual reality 、 Immersive experience and virtual simulation platform XR Application landing , Help the Internet 、 The new retail 、 social contact 、 Industry 、 traffic 、 Urban management and other industries explore innovative business forms .

Alibaba cloud XR The platform provides computing power scheduling 、3D Real time rendering 、 Audio and video coding and streaming 、 Application publishing and user management services .3D Application developers can publish and host applications to the cloud XR platform ,3D Application users can use AR/VR/MR Wait for multiple terminals to join the cloud XR Platform and 3D Applications interact and experience .

The upsurge of cloud Visual Computing , Enhance user experience

In recent years , Cloud games 、 Immersive experience 、 Virtual reality 、 Virtual people and other crazes rise , These applications have many high fidelity 3D Model , It requires a lot of computing power for model rendering and image processing . Therefore, Alibaba cloud collectively refers to this class as visual computing applications .

Emerging visual computing applications , It often needs to be deployed in the cloud . One is because of its huge demand for Computing , The computing power of the terminal has been difficult to meet , It needs the support of super large-scale elastic computing power in the cloud ; Second, put computing in the cloud , It can reduce the dependence on the computing power of terminal equipment , It can support head display 、 Richer terminal forms such as mobile phones , There is no need to download GB Level client , Fast access anytime, anywhere , Greatly improved the user experience . For developers , Cloud native visual computing applications significantly reduce the cost of terminal adaptation , Reduce costs and improve efficiency for research and development .

large 3A The swim 、BIM Engineering visualization system is more traditional visual computing applications . In the past, such applications were often installed on highly configured terminals , For example, configure unique PC And special graphic workstation ; The circulation and dissemination of relevant models are extremely inconvenient , There is more risk of information leakage .

The emerging cloud visual computing has broken all restrictions , You can use your mobile phone 、PC、XR(AR/VR/MR) Head display terminal, etc . Business Architecture , Decouple computation and interaction , Cloud real time 3D Rendering , The content is pushed to the terminal through audio and video streams , The terminal is mainly responsible for audio and video output and human-computer interaction .

However , Rendering of visual computing applications in the cloud 、 Coding and pushing , Developers still need to solve many technical challenges , for example ：

● How to do only in the cloud 3D Render without display output ;

● How to push the rendered picture to the terminal , And ensure sound and picture synchronization and low delay , Compatible with different devices ;

● How to push the rendered image of the specified application to the specified user ;

● How to achieve 3D Efficient matching between applications and cloud computing resources .

Alibaba cloud XR platform , by 3D Easy Cloud Application

Alibaba cloud XR The platform can provide services from the underlying facilities to the platform layer , Overwrite the above rendering 、 code 、 Push flow and other processes , Developers through SDK You can access , It supports zero code application deployment , It also supports more flexible secondary development .3D Application developers only need to publish and host their applications to the cloud XR platform , You can automatically complete cloud deployment and application packaging , End users can easily experience applications through different terminals .

Alibaba cloud heterogeneous computing product expert introduction , Alibaba cloud XR The platform has the following advantages ：

● Compatible with multiple platforms ： cloud XR The platform supports a variety of popular real-time 3D engine , Include Unity 3D、Unreal Engine、CryEngine etc. , It also supports a variety of popular AR/VR/MR terminal , compatible Windows、Linux、MacOS、Android、iOS Wait for different systems .

● 3D The app will be released immediately ： Through Alibaba cloud computing nest , Users can send their own 3D In the cloud XR Deployed on the platform , And publish the service to any corner of the world . A set of platforms to solve rendering 、 code 、 Push the whole process of software and hardware technical services , At the same time, it provides user management , Resource management and other services . Users with secondary development needs can use the perfect interface provided by the platform , Realize rich business systems , And use UE And so on 3D Engine developed XR System separation , To achieve their own separate development , Reduce development difficulty and personnel investment cost .

● High performance and low delay ： cloud XR The platform is optionally equipped with NVIDIA A10 Tensor Core GPU Alibaba cloud vGN7i Examples and equipped NVIDIA RTX A6000 GPU Of vGN6i example , These instances support Alibaba cloud DPCA and NVIDIA Hardware real-time ray tracing and other powerful functions , contain AI CG Optimize 、AI Video quality optimization 、 Algorithms and Suites for image and streaming media optimization , It can achieve higher performance 3D Real time rendering and low latency interaction .

● Flexible resource scheduling ： cloud XR The platform combines the resource flexibility advantages of Alibaba cloud elastic Computing , Combine the advantages of computing resource delivery of elastic computing out of the box , cloud XR The platform can realize the elastic deployment of business and the elastic delivery of applications in a great range .
