With the increased adoption and take-off of 3GPP 5G-NR in commercial networks, interest in eXtended Reality (XR) devices including Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR) has also significantly increased. These devices would merge the world as experienced through text, images, videos, etc. thereby enhancing and augmenting real/quasi-real experiences in commercial applications. Since such augmentation is contingent on increased data rates and reduced latencies, 5G-NR is naturally poised to address these challenges. The scope of this session would be to present the state-of-the-art in XR evolution aspects as seen from a technology perspective in Release 18 (and beyond) of 5G-NR as these releases start to fructify. This session would also chart out the future scope of commercialization aspects in this area and present a well-rounded overview of this area including the opportunities and challenges in the road from paper design to products and commercialization. The speakers in this session include well-established researchers in XR with a fundamental understanding in the arenas of R&D, standardization and practical deployments.
