The solution allows wireless carriers to    add support for RCS services such as IR.92\/94 from within VR\/AR    environments.  <\/p>\n<p>    Whereas many VR experiences isolate users from real life,    Summit begins by connecting real people through real-time 360    live video streams including support for virtual    environments. Users connect through globally standardized    communication services such as RCS and VoLTE ensuring mass    reachability by allowing VR users to share their experience    with, well, virtually anyone with a smartphone.  <\/p>\n<p>    Oculus Rift, HTC Vive or Gear VR users connect to live VR    streams, then by simply VRcalling their friends on RCS or ViLTE    enabled devices, users share their experiences in real-time     no app required. Additionally, while connected to streams,    users can publish their social presence allowing for    communication between any user connected to the stream. VR    calling enables new, high-value experiences such as:  <\/p>\n<p>    - Immersive live-streaming entertainment - by connecting to    360 streams from sporting events or music concerts, carriers    can put their subscribers in the center of the action, allowing    them to look around and experience the location like a physical    attendee while sharing the stream with friends through RCS.  <\/p>\n<p>    - Immersive meetings\/training  by giving visual context and    360 views of attendees and location, immersive business    meetings bridge the divide between flat telepresence sessions    and physical attendance.  <\/p>\n<p>    - Immersive edutainment  students can explore educational    locations like museums, galleries and observatories and    interact with students in distant locations through overlaid    video calling and group chat.  <\/p>\n<p>    RCS is the next generation communication and conversation    platform being deployed by operators with services ranging from    enriched calling to chatbots. Not limited to RCS smartphones,    users access VR calling through VR headsets or AR glasses for    immersive experiences, or tablets and web browsers as easily    accessible alternatives.  <\/p>\n<p>    Alido Di    Giovanni, President of Summit commented: \"We want    to empower operators to rapidly launch VR\/AR services and    secure new revenue streams. To facilitate carriers in piloting    RCS VR, we are also demonstrating a white-label IMS cloud    service.  <\/p>\n<p>    Summit Tech will also demonstrate the innovative IMS-enabled    connected car and operator-managed connected living services    supporting Cat M1 and NB-IoT.  <\/p>\n<p>    Todd    Haas, (917) 328-4426, <a href=\"mailto:todd.haas@summit-tech.ca\">todd.haas@summit-tech.ca<\/a>,    visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.summit-tech.ca\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.summit-tech.ca<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>    SOURCE Summit Tech  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>More here: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/virtual-reality-calling-for-humanity-614786954.html\" title=\"Virtual Reality Calling for Humanity - PR Newswire (press release)\">Virtual Reality Calling for Humanity - PR Newswire (press release)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> VRCalling.com, real time, with real people, creating real moments.
