Top applications of Mixed Reality

As seen in Reliance Jio's demonstrations, MR can be used for a variety of purposes.

Education is said to be the biggest beneficiary of the technology. Mixed Reality allows teachers to better demonstrate a concept using 3D projections and simulations. It makes it much easier for young students to visualise complicated things, for instance, a structure of a molecule or virtual visit to any destination.

The engineering sector can also leverage the technology to better prepare for a big project. Engineers can leverage 3D simulations for a better-designed model. Mixed Reality can also be used for entertainment and healthcare.

For reference, you can check out Microsoft's MR headset called Magic Leap1. Microsoft defines the gear as a “wearable spatial computer.” Some of its top applications include gaming, designing, and research.

What Jio Glass can do?

Reliance Jio has already demonstrated the use case for productivity and education. The Jio Glass platform already supports 25 applications.

Another interesting usage will be interacting with others over a conference call, who can join them either in their 3D avatar or a standard 2D video call format. The MR headset also supports voice commands.

“Jio's latest innovation, Jio Glass, is at the cutting edge of technology that provides best-in-class Mixed Reality services to give users a truly meaningful immersive experience,” RIL President Kiran Thomas said at the AGM while introducing Jio Glass.

We're expecting Jio Glass to also leverage the upcoming 5G network for a seamless experience.
