Holoportation on Snapdragon XR — IEEE VR 2025 with Qualcomm

Volum and Qualcomm shared stand at IEEE VR 2025, Saint-Malo

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.

A live demonstration featured attendees conversing with a hologram of Volum's CTO in passthrough mode — fielding technical questions in real time with natural facial expressions and instantaneous movement.

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.
