MWC 2019: Intel Helps Bring Batman to Life with Mixed Reality

Intel, AT&T, Ericsson, Warner Bros. and DC collaborated to create a mixed reality experience that immerses fans wearing VR headsets in the world of DC’s superhero Batman as he takes on The Scarecrow.

The experience builds on a proof-of-concept demonstration conducted in December 2018 with the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts. Mobile World Congress attendees will see how Batman defeats The Scarecrow in an action-packed immersive experience using a digital model of their encounter.

The demonstration showcases the latest evolution in mobile broadband technology and distributed cloud remote rendering. It runs on Intel Xeon Scalable processors in Ericsson radio base stations with the Intel 5G Mobile Trial Platform.
