What we do at Envrmnt

4. 4
Expertise and
Distribution
Envrmnt is built with
democratization of creation
and distribution in mind so
that creating and viewing VR
is as easy as flipping
channels.
T h e c re a t i o n o f A R a n d V R
experiences currently requires some
knowledge of game development and
in many cases experience in 3D
content creation or computer vision
Once created, creators struggle to get
users to try experiences that are often
only a few minutes in length, but
require massive downloads and
lengthy installs.

5. Latency and
Bandwidth
It is generally accepted that the
greatest acceptable time it takes to
update the screen from a user’s
movement is roughly 20ms. This is
referred to as motion-to-photon
latency.
Typical displays on VR/AR devices
have a refresh rate of between 60Hz
and 90Hz or 16.66ms to 11.11ms.
This is the time to update pixels on a
screen.
The fastest networks in the US
provide 40-200ms latency round trip.
On 5G, however, there is a
theoretical single ms latency.

INTELLIGENT EDGE BY
VERIZON + ENVRMNT
AR and VR is uniquely suited to leverage
Edge Computing
The boundaries of compute and latency on AR and VR
can quickly fade away when leveraging next
generation networks.
In these use cases we begin to focus on offloading
and amortizing the heaviest tasks to nodes that are
only a hop away
Reduce costs for users and providers
Low latency, high bandwidth networks allow
offloading of tasks that were local only
Utilize vast amounts of compute and VRAM
to push lightweight devices further

VIEWPORT
RENDER
Move enterprise and gaming applications
to the edge.
Viewport render is the traditional method of hosting a
desktop or client application on a server and providing
a remote client to an end user.
In this paradigm we allow users to reduce the cost of
end user devices and virtualize user sessions.
Generally high cost, low return.
Ideal for CPU bound applications and
casual, latency-tolerant gaming.
Empower workforces and simplify enterprise
management.
Simple to host virtual sessions. Scales on
CPU, but not GPU.

ENVRMNT HYBRID RENDERING
FOR GRAPHICS
Provide a graphical boost to games and
simulations
Hybrid graphics rendering offloads the most
computationally heavy rendering tasks and allows
them to be served by an edge based renderer.
By offloading lighting, shadows and PBR materials on
the edge and blending them with client side
compositing and rendering a significant graphics boost
is achieved without sacrificing motion to photon
latency and failing gracefully when your edge
connection is compromised.
Designed to scale on an edge system Envrmnt Hybrid
Graphics Rendering Services is a one-of-a-kind
solution that allows for true GPU slicing and non-
linear scaling for users.

Designed specifically to stress mobile VR to its limits
project Helios is a space shooter that takes a user on a
high speed dynamic mission through the insides of a
space station.
Filled with reflective surfaces, lights and dynamic
shadows, Helios is built to demonstrate what is possible
with and without an edge rendering solution.
Maintaining zero lag on a mobile VR headset while firing
dynamic lights in a corridor, Helios stresses what is
possible when graphics compute is amortized.

ENVRMNT EDGE VISION: REAL-
TIME COMPUTER VISION FOR XR
Computer Vision has traditionally been
bound by VRAM and GPU compute.
Computer vision is a crucial part of augmented and
extended reality. When used for identification, tracking /
pose estimation and analytics devices have been
restricted by on-device GPUs or time it takes for
backend servers to crunch algorithms
Envrmnt Edge Vision is a solution that breaks the
boundaries of computer vision to make it responsive in
real time. Using highly parallel GPU compute, Envrmnt
can recognize and augment large quantities of targets in
real time.

ENVRMNT EDGE: SPATIAL
RENDERING FOR IMMERSIVE AUDIO
Audio is often overlooked, but is one of
the most crucial elements to immersion
in XR
Audio processing is incorrectly overlooked when it
comes to XR experiences. Proper XR audio is
spatialized and painstakingly designed to reflect head
rotation, attenuation, occlusion and material
properties of a room. Even voice and ambient effects
are greatly benefitted by edge offloading.
Envrmnt Spatial Rendering is designed to take
expensive room modeling and audio calculations and
push them into the cloud for highly immersive audio
rendering that doesn’t impact your performance or
battery life.

KEY METRICS ON
THE EDGE
Edge Networks are primarily defined by
offering compute closer to the user.
The principle features of the edge are low latency,
high bandwidth offload to large amounts of compute
power.
Currently, edge computing is expensive and we need
to find use cases that are latency sensitive and
compute heavy. These are typically scenarios that are
GPU bound. Real world scenarios also requires
graceful fall back for when the edge is not available.
Typical edge use cases include:
1. Augmented or Merged Reality
2. Virtual Reality
3. Computer Vision
4. Gaming
5. Artificial Intelligence
6. Internet of Things
