In general, there are multiple use cases for AR VR itemized below. For Release 4, we focus on building the infrastructure and virtual classroom application (Highlighted in dark purple color).
Virtual Classroom is a basic app that allows you to live a virtual reality experience simulating a classroom with teachers and students.
UseCases | Value Proposition |
Operation Guidance | Predict the next step for the operations(like assembling Lego blocks, cooking sandwiches, etc) and help people to achieve a goal. |
Virtual Classroom | Simulating a virtual classroom, which improves online education experiences for the teachers and students. |
Sports Live | Augment and simulate the sports live, which gives the audiences an amazing immersive watching experience. |
Gaming | Augment and simulate the game scenario, let players enjoy an immersive game world. |

Software Platform Architecture
Tars is a high-performance microservice framework based on name service and Tars protocol, also integrated administration platform. For more information about Tars, refer to the following documents:
IEC (Integrated Edge Cloud) is a platform that will enable new functionalities and business models on the network edge. The benefits of running applications on the network edge are - Better latencies for end users - Less load on network since more data can be processed locally - Fully utilize the computation power of the edge devices. Here IEC Type2 is used as the main working base for IEC Type4 deployment orchestration. For more information about IEC, refer to the following documents:

- Lightweight framework
- To make Tars can be well deployed on the edge computing platform, we make the framework pluggable. The customer plugin the pluggable components when we really need it. Unnecessary components can be avoided.
- Rewrite some functions(like scale-out, monitor and so on) to reduce CPU consumption.
- Orchestrate no-urgent functions(like monitor data calculation and so on) from edge to DC(or higher level edge). Reduce resource consumption.
- IEC Optimization: IEC uses Calico as the main container networking solution which uses a pure IP networking fabric to deliver high-performance Kubernetes networking, and its policy engine enforces developer intent for high-level network policy management. Together, Calico and Kubernetes provide a secure, cloud-native platform that can scale your infrastructure to support hundreds of thousands of users. Calico CNI also supports multi-cni plugin. In this way, users can customize their own edge systems.
