XR Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (XR), and Virtual Reality (VR)) applications are beginning to be adopted in many domains such as engineering, gaming, and education. These applications make it feasible to achieve immersive and rich collaboration between a distributed set of participants. The advent of 5G technology broadens the reach of these applications since they have better coverage than all its predecessors and wired networks. End user Quality-of-Experience (QoE) is a key consideration for these applications. For a truly immersive experience, these applications must provide real-time feedback and delivery. The broad goal of the partnership between TELUS, Red Iron Labs and U of C is to design and prototype an end-to-end XR platform, in which XR components (e.g., video processing and XR rendering) are deployed as microservices in both core and edge clouds. The goal is to provide a platform for deploying XR and other immersive applications over 5G networks in a performance-aware manner, enhancing perceived user experiences.Our work will spark new opportunities for exploiting XR technologies in sectors such as education and medical simulations providing a competitive advantage to our partners as well as other Canadian organizations in these areas. The project will train HQP with skills such as UX, XR, microservices, cloud computing, and edge computing that are in high demand within Canada's IT and telecom sectors.

XR增强现实（AR），混合现实（XR）和虚拟现实（VR））应用程序已开始在工程，游戏和教育等许多领域中采用。这些应用程序使得在分布式参与者之间实现沉浸式和丰富的合作是可行的。 5G技术的出现扩大了这些应用程序的覆盖范围，因为它们的覆盖范围比所有前辈和有线网络都更好。最终用户体验质量（QOE）是这些应用程序的关键考虑因素。为了获得真正的身临其境的体验，这些应用程序必须提供实时反馈和交付。 TELUS，Red Iron Labs和C之间合作伙伴关系的广泛目标是设计和原型端到端XR平台，其中将XR组件（例如，视频处理和XR渲染）部署为核心和边缘云中的微服务。 目的是提供一个平台，以表演感知的方式在5G网络上部署XR和其他沉浸式应用程序，增强感知到的用户体验。我们的工作将为在教育和医疗模拟中利用XR技术（例如为我们的合作伙伴以及这些领域的其他组织提供竞争优势）提供新的机会。该项目将培训HQP的技能，例如UX，XR，微服务，云计算和边缘计算，这些计算在加拿大IT和电信领域的需求量很高。
