Angelų Takai
Client Overview: Angelų Takai (AT), a VR experience developer, located within a museum, provides visitors with immersive guided tours through VR headsets. The company’s mission is to create engaging and educational experiences using VR technology. However, operational inefficiencies and scalability challenges limited the growth and quality of their offerings.
Challenges Faced by Client
Hardware Scalability
Each VR headset required a dedicated computer to process data, resulting in a high hardware footprint.
Maintenance Costs
Multiple computers increased the likelihood of mechanical failures and created a heavy maintenance burden.
Operational Inefficiencies
The physical setup was complex and resource-intensive, limiting the number of headsets that could be used simultaneously.
Cost Constraints
The high cost of purchasing and maintaining individual computers for each VR headset strained AT’s budget.
Innovation Constraints
The original setup limits user mobility and puts a constraint on immersiveness.
Solution Implemented by CloudAtlas
CloudAtlas introduced a fog computing-based architecture that eliminated the need for one-to-one computer-to-headset connections. The new system included:
Unlimited scalability
The infrastructure supports an unlimited number of VR headsets, provided there is enough air time.
Optimized Hardware Utilization
By offloading computing tasks from individual headsets to a single computer, the system dramatically reduced hardware requirements.
Customizable System Design
CloudAtlas tailored the solution to meet AT’s unique needs, ensuring seamless integration into their existing infrastructure.
Implementation Process
Initial Assessment
CloudAtlas conducted a thorough review of AT’s current operations, identifying key bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
System Design
