- Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality: Are being used in several verticals to provide the next wave of user interfaces that provide the best possible user experience. It was traditionally used for gaming, but other applications also leverage it. For example, online sales uses augmented reality to let consumers see the goods in their context: furniture, clothes, … For this, they require a finner grain of control over the network than other traditional applications.
Home Devices QoD
API Description
The “Home Devices QoD” API enables application developers to dynamically configure and manage the Quality of Service (QoS) for devices connected to a user’s home Wi-Fi network, so that they can run applications that require better than best-effort WiFi connectivity, like cloud gaming or virtual reality.
