6G proposes a globally connected, intelligent system in which data transmission, data processing, and AI are first-class citizens, going far beyond traditional data transmission networks to unlock entirely new use cases and lay the foundation for widespread XR adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past three years, Fraunhofer FOKUS has been working with partners in the \u201c6G Native Extensions for XR Technologies\u201d (6G NeXt)<\/a> project to prove that the next generation of mobile communications will be defined by the convergence of connectivity, computing power, and artificial intelligence. Within the project, our team at the business unit FAME<\/strong> has developed three key solutions to explore novel distributed immersive experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. FAMIUM Remote Rendering Framework<\/a><\/strong>: Our remote rendering framework is built for split computing and allows rendering compute intensive 3D applications in the cloud, on the network edge, or any split configuration. It is device agnostic and allows interaction with photorealistic 3D environments on end devices without graphical compute capabilities. Complex simulation environments can be rendered on the cloud, augmented with data from edge nodes, and displayed on handheld devices or head-mounted displays, offering a platform for industrial and consumer applications alike.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Real-time 3D Head Reconstruction<\/strong>: To enable immersive telepresence with always up-to-date avatars, we developed a real-time 3D head reconstruction pipeline fully based on commodity hardware. Captured by a 2D camera, the user\u2019s head shape is reconstructed as a 3D-mesh, textured, and streamed into any 3D environment driven by Unity, Unreal Engine, or any other 3D engine. Reconstructed movement sequences can be recorded, stored and used as static assets. The real-time head reconstruction is fully compatible with the remote rendering framework.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. 5G Media Testbed<\/a><\/strong>: To validate developments in real-world settings, we built up our 5G media testbed, which is a mobile and configurable 5G network. Applications integrated into the remote rendering framework can be deployed along the cloud-edge continuum and executed under varying network conditions to test real-world feasibility.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Together with our 6G NeXt partners, T-Labs, DFKI, TU Berlin, Volucap, TU Ilmenau, TH Wildau, LogicWay, IDRF, Sch\u00f6nhagen Airfield, and our associated partner Nvidia, we successfully hosted this project\u2018s closing event in September 2025 at Sch\u00f6nhagen Airfield. There, we validated a backbone architecture developed in the project using two challenging use cases<\/strong>: 3D video communication<\/strong> and a live anti-collision system for mixed air traffic consisting of manned and unmanned aircraft<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
