Athosthe French digital services company, has presented its proposals for this edition of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) of Barcelona 2023. All are included under the same motto: use technology as a lever for innovation in a sustainable society.
In this sense, Atos intends to demonstrate that virtual reality and the metaverse Not only can they be available to technology companies or the video game sector, but any company, regardless of its nature, can use it to hold corporate meetings or hold both presentations and meetings with clients, creating dynamic and personalized environments.
The current edition of the MWC is held in Fira until March 2 and will host more than 2,000 exhibitors and an average of 80,000 visitors from all over the worldwhich will mean an economic impact of around €350 million. A perfect scenario for Atos to demonstrate that companies can speed up their access to the new reality.
All this is possible thanks to the Atos collaboration with Fireframe (creative company of Mikko Kodisoja and Clash Royale), with which they will make a gaming-based virtual production and to which users will access with the help of virtual reality glasses. Once inside, they can choose different rooms with configurations (cinema, amphitheatre, etc.), introduce yourself with your avatar and interact with the rest. Thus, a virtual and multi-user environment that merges the physical reality with the simulated one.
The metaverse solutions will be available on-premise and in the cloud. In the demo presented during the MWC, visitors interact with a supercomputer BullSequana XH3000 of Athos.
An initiative for sustainability
Another of the clear commitments made by Atos and Fireframe in the field of the metaverse is the demonstration that this technological improvement will be sustainable, contributing to the implementation of its decarbonization strategy towards a net zero industry.
The TMT industry has been a pioneer in this regard, and now Atos will demonstrate at the MWC how its tools are adapted towards a much-needed goal. CRAFT is Atos’ organizational sustainability planning, monitoring and monitoring tool that helps energy managers, directors and board members set the roadmap for carbon reduction and that necessary net-zero strategy.
For its part, the Atos tool myCO2Compass aims to digitize carbon data collection and generate new insights to accelerate net zero by showing IT energy consumption, travel emissions, waste and reduced collection activities. All current data can be linked to forecasts for improve predictability and decision making.
virtual production
Atos and Fireframe, a company founded by Mikko Kodisojajoin forces to promote several projects of international reference in the that virtual production that uses gaming technology to generate high-quality content be promoted. All this would manage to eliminate the competition and the conventional perspective offered by classic productions. There are many possibilities offered by these technologies and that are demonstrated in the alliance between both companies.
Your challenge 2023
In this sense, the company has always been clear about it, and its objective in the short-medium term is none other than to develop an application that demonstrates a case of practical use in the metaverse that generates real business value. To do this, it uses technologies such as VR/AR/MR, StramVR, OpenXR, Blockchain and NFTs, Blender, Apple’s Scenekit, Autodesk 3ds Max and areas as diverse as new models of education, virtual economy, gaming or new businesses.
