Using Accedo XR, providers can also design and develop new services or even bring existing video content and applications into XR. Capabilities for immersive new video formats, such as 360/180 VR videos and volumetric video will be added as they enter the mainstream market.

Michael Lantz, CEO, Accedo, explains, “Interest in XR video content continues to grow, Accedo XR enables providers to augment services with custom XR experiences. This partnership with Nreal delivers an exciting and interactive viewing experience for mass consumers.

The existing players allow users to interact with a range of immersive viewing options. From documentaries enhanced with 3D models and information presented as virtual objects, to live sports supported by match statistics, interactive maps and social media interactions.
