Introducing Snapdragon Spaces XR Developer Platform

The Snapdragon Spaces XR Developer Platform reduces developer friction by providing a uniform set of augmented reality features independent of device manufacturers. This allows developers  to seamlessly blend the lines between our physical and digital realities and transform the world around us in ways limited only by our imaginations.

There are many features of the Snapdragon Spaces XR Development Platform that let you build beyond limits. For example, positional tracking maps the environment and estimates the location, position, and orientation of the smart glasses in six degrees of freedom within 3D space. This enables developers to understand and track the end-user’s position relative to the world. With scene understanding, the smart glasses gain semantic knowledge about select elements of the physical space. The Snapdragon Spaces XR Development Platform supports the semantic understanding of floors, walls, and ceilings in a scene. Finally, hand tracking enables the recognition, tracking, and meshing of a user’s hands to enable more natural, intuitive, fast, and precise input when interacting with the augmented world without the need for physical controllers.

These are only a few of the features included in the Snapdragon Spaces XR Development Platform. Together, they unlock virtually endless possibilities for developers.

Working with Qualcomm means partnering with an augmented reality pioneer with over a decade of experience in AR. We help our partners develop augmented reality experiences that sense and intelligently interact with the physical environment and the user to create the illusion that these kinds of experiences are a part of the real world.

Additionally, you can join Qualcomm’s active community of Snapdragon Spaces developers to access our network of partners that help bring your ideas to life and market faster. You’ll get the special opportunity to explore, collaborate, and innovate in the augmented reality space together.
