AT&T and Ericsson Deliver Live 5G-Powered 3-D AR Performance with Axel Mansoor

AT&T and Ericsson teamed up with up-and-coming artist Axel Mansoor, from NBC’s Songland, to deliver a live performance that allowed 10 fans to enjoy an exclusive 20-minute 3-D AR interactive experience. Axel’s performance was live-streamed from Ericsson’s D-15 Labs in Santa Clara, CA using machine learning, edge computing and 5G technology. Prior to this performance, AT&T and Ericsson laid the groundwork by conducting a live two-way 3-D AR communication test between two employees using smartphones. This test presented the foundational work that enables immersive 3-D life-size AR communications between two people anywhere in the world.

“5G networks will revolutionize our lives, and our most recent collaborations with AT&T showcase game-changing innovation in the future of communication and entertainment,” said Åsa Tamsons, Ericsson Senior Vice President and Head of Business Area Technologies & New Businesses. “Using the latest developments in 5G, deep learning and edge computing, Ericsson is proud to continue our long history working with AT&T to bring unique experiences to market. This product is accelerated within Ericsson ONE, our venture studio, where we look to create game-changing new businesses”
