Build your next Snapdragon 820 based Virtual Reality Solution with Inforce 6601

Today's society we live in demands real-time personalized experiences to cater their needs. Hence every niche of the current technology is gearing to adopt the digital transformation. While the future of smart cities lies in how the urban lifestyle consolidates with it, the technologies like virtual reality, augmented reality and IoT are promoting this shift.   Virtual Reality per se is constantly extending its educating and entertaining capabilities to the industries such as:
  • Simulation training in aerospace, medical and vehicle driving
  • Medical applications such as surgical simulations, treating phobias and tele-medicine
  • Gaming industry and tele-immersion
  • Scientific visualization
  • Meteorology and astrophysics
  • Industrial robotics
  • Architectural-urban planning
  • Artistic domains such as virtual museums and site-visits.
With virtual reality tending towards proving its potential in many areas, there are still theories which doubt its scope. Despite few cynical arguments, there is no denying that the drop in the cost has made the prospects of VR more promising than ever.  

What Snapdragon™ 820 has to offer for Virtual Reality?

To make VR experience more immersive, we need technologies which make seeing, hearing and touching as realistic as possible. While demanding high processing capabilities, they also should operate with optimal power consumption. Now we see an unprecedented potential in VR due to both technological and operational advancements. Snapdragon 820 provides application developers with state-of-art VR technology. It supports superior visuals, intuitive gestures and heightened audio detail to build devices offering an immersive experience. The Snapdragon 820 processor features:
  • Qualcomm® Adreno™ 530 GPU - Adreno 530 is capable of generating photorealistic graphics for next-generation virtual reality apps. When compared to Adreno 430, it delivers up to 40% improvement in graphics performance and computing capabilities.
  • Qualcomm® Hexagon™ 680 DSP - Improved Hexagon 680 DSP allows CPU to offload multiple imaging tasks. It supports ultra-low power ‘always-on’ sensors and advanced low per image processing.
  • Qualcomm Spectra™14-bit dual-ISP with 25MP@30fps - The Qualcomm Spectra™14-bit dual-ISP can capture a wider gamut of colors with its 14-bit image sensors, hybrid autofocus, and multi-sensor fusion algorithms
  • The Qualcomm® Kryo™ CPU is a quad-core configuration, clocked at 2.2GHz and is designed to feature 2x performance and efficiency compared to previous generations..
