At IEEE VR 2025 in Saint-Malo, Volum partnered with Qualcomm at a joint exhibition stand to demonstrate holoportation capabilities. The presentation focused on integrating real-time volumetric capture and streaming with advanced hardware platforms — offering visitors an experience of immersive communication that brings people together in shared virtual environments with high fidelity and minimal delay.
What we demonstrated
The system showcased three key capabilities running together on Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR platform:
- Ultra-low latency streaming — end-to-end volumetric video with imperceptible delay
- Adaptive compression — preserving visual quality across varying network conditions
- Passthrough mixed reality — the hologram appeared anchored in the real space of the venue, visible through a head-mounted display
Visitors noted the natural interaction quality: the hologram accurately conveyed facial expressions and movements instantaneously, establishing a compelling sense of presence. The fact that it ran on a Snapdragon XR device — untethered, in a live event environment — drew particular interest from researchers and industry attendees alike.
A partnership that matters
Sharing a stand with Qualcomm at one of the world's leading XR research conferences was a significant milestone for Volum. It reflects a shared commitment to advancing spatial computing and demonstrates that holoportation is no longer confined to research labs — it runs on production hardware, today.
