Codex - 5G and Extended Reality Showcase

Imagine climbing Mount Everest, or visiting the Grand Canyon - all in your living room..!

As superfast 5G networks begin to be rolled out across the world, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), together known as extended reality (XR), have the potential to become the next big technology platform, and to reshape the way we live, learn and play. With the arrival of affordable headsets, extended reality will transform how we do many things such as buying a car, visiting a doctor or watching a football game.
