The CloudFormation templates you deployed earlier included a rather complex configuration that was assigned to your EC2 instance the moment it connected to the Greengrass service. Let’s take a look at what this consists of as a jumping-off point for further exploration of what these components can do for you. In the AWS Management Console, […]
ContinueThe AWS IoT Greengrass agent can technically run from any computer. It doesn’t matter if it’s a physical or virtual machine, and Greengrass supports a wide range of operating systems. That said, for this exercise, we will be using the AWS IoT Greengrass-validated AMI that you selected to be installed when you ordered the device. […]
ContinueNow that we’ve gone over all of the concepts, you’re ready to start getting your hands dirty. This chapter will show you step by step how to order an AWS Snowcone device and then configure it as an IoT gateway. We’ll cover the following topics: Ordering an AWS Snowcone device Deploying the backend in your […]
ContinueAR has the potential to revolutionize the way connected workers operate across multiple industries by providing them with real-time data, guided instructions, and remote assistance. Here are some examples: Healthcare: Doctors can leverage AR glasses for enhanced patient care and surgical precision. During surgeries, they can utilize AR glasses to access and visualize critical patient […]
ContinueThere are significant advantages to this approach, some of which are as follows: Reduced client requirements: As the game runs on a server, there is less onus on the players to have powerful GPUs. Simplified adoption: Players can start playing immediately without downloading large game files or installing updates. There is also less dependence on […]
ContinueAnother way to deliver XR for online gaming is via pixel streaming. This works in much the same way as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solutions such as Amazon Workspaces do: Figure 11.9 – Unity-based shared virtual world using pixel streaming Notice that in the preceding figure, the client/server configuration remains. Each player is assigned their […]
ContinueA subtype of the Linux, macOS, and Windows build targets is called a dedicated server. The term dedicated refers to the fact that they serve no other function than to host common components of a shared game – before the advent of this model, one player out of a group would have to host these […]
ContinueMR combines aspects of both AR and VR. It not only overlays but also anchors virtual objects to the real world, allowing users to interact with these objects as though they are there. Users can manipulate virtual objects in real time, offering a seamless blend of both realities. Like AR, high-resolution (or outright transparent) passthrough […]
ContinueIf you haven’t tried a third-generation VR headset, you are missing out. First-time users are invariably impressed with how high-resolution and engaging the virtual world is – it is something that needs to be seen to understand. While it is very difficult to make absolute comparisons between these devices due to the dozens of differences […]
ContinueThe sports industry is always looking for ways to reduce video delays to improve the experience for viewers, fans, and players. 5G networks offer a solution with the capability to deliver high bandwidth and reliability, as outlined next: Mixing: combining various audio and video sources to produce a cohesive program output. Traditionally, large and complex […]
