T-Mobile U.S. the Lead 5G Launch Partner for Qualcomm Technologies Snapdragon Spaces in North America

T-Mobile Accelerator spring program to fuel innovation with developers building immersive experiences for AR glasses using the Snapdragon Spaces™ XR Developer Platform

T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) continues its mission to fuel 5G innovation. Now, the Un-carrier is the exclusive 5G launch partner in North America for Qualcomm Technologies’ new Snapdragon Spaces™ XR Developer Platform. In addition, via the T-Mobile Accelerator, the Un-carrier will work directly with startups and developers using Snapdragon Spaces to build immersive 5G experiences for AR glasses across gaming, entertainment and other industries starting in spring 2022.

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. is working with T-Mobile U.S., Deutsche Telekom and others to help launch AR glasses as companions to smartphones. To help build the ecosystem of applications, T-Mobile engineers and business leaders will work directly with T-Mobile Accelerator participants as they develop, test and bring to market new products and services built on the Snapdragon Spaces platform.

“5G is powering more immersive experiences that better connect us to people and things around the world, and glasses will be one of the first disruptive new product categories,” said Neville Ray, President of Technology at T-Mobile. “AR glasses will make a real impact for both businesses and consumers, but first we need to build the ecosystem of developers that will bring new applications to life, and Snapdragon Spaces is a critical step in making this happen.”

With Snapdragon Spaces, developers are equipped with resources to create immersive consumer and enterprise AR applications. The platform enables developers to build 3D applications for AR glasses from scratch, or simply add headworn AR features to existing Android smartphone applications for a unified, multi-screen experience between the smartphone screen in 2D and the real world in 3D.
