It promises to be the next evolution of the internet, creating a more immersive and interactive online experience via XR (extended reality) where users can do almost anything – from get-togethers with friends and family, learning, working, shopping, creating, gaming, and even entirely new experiences not yet possible on today’s devices.

 

Arm is the gateway to the metaverse for millions of users worldwide, providing the compute capabilities for consumer gateway devices – be that a smartphone or standalone XR wearable device, like VR headsets or future AR smartglasses – that act as entry points for metaverse experiences.
