AR in Media - Value Chain Analysis
The AR value chain is split into five segments – semiconductors, components, devices, platforms, and applications and content.
Semiconductors: Semiconductors are one of the key battlegrounds in AR today. It can be further segmented into Central Processing Units (CPU), Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), Vision Processing Units (VPUs), Image Processors, Communication Chips, Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS), and Memory Chips. Qualcomm is the leading player in the AR central processing unit (CPU) space, primarily due to its strong position in the smartphone market. Until 2018, AR device makers primarily relied on powerful smartphone and PC chips, but Qualcomm’s introduction of the XR1 AR and VR-specific chipset changed all that. Subsequently, in 2019, Qualcomm launched the XR2 5G platform, describing it as the “world’s first 5G-supported extended reality (XR) platform.”
