A Quick Primer on 3D Content Streaming: Industry Challenges and Mawari’s Solution

For everyone who’s ever wondered why large-scale, real-time XR experiences aren’t everywhere—and how we can get there.

Demand is skyrocketing for more immersive, real-time 3D experiences. Estimates vary for how big impacted markets like augmented reality and cloud gaming will become, but one thing is clear—the opportunities are massive.

Beyond VR experiences, new advancements in AR are expected to lead to a roughly 3x increase in AR users in the next three years alone.

It’s no wonder, then, that a growing number of developers are looking to build new immersive experiences.

  • By 2028, the worldwide AR/VR user base will increase to 206 million users.

  • According to the GDC survey, 36% of developers say they’ve been involved with VR/AR game development.

  • According to SlashData research, 65% of the developers were either very or extremely interested in distributed cloud solutions

What’s the Catch?

But the challenges of launching new immersive experiences have scaled with these opportunities. This is because delivering rich, immersive 3D content in real time isn’t as simple as hitting the play button.

  • Massive Compute Requirements: To stream 3D content in real time, you need serious GPU power to render complex scenes on the fly.

  • Low Latency: Immersion is everything in XR, and a few milliseconds of lag can break an experience. But achieving that feeling requires ultra-low latency streaming on a global scale.

  • Lack of Specialization: Traditional cloud providers like AWS or Google Cloud are great for standard workloads, they but encounter persistent performance issues when trying to scale interactive, high-quality 3D content streaming.

Creators need a more robust, resilient content rendering and delivery solution that can scale with global demand. 

Mawari is the answer.

Mawari has been redefining the spatial computing space for nearly a decade, and we’ve built a solution that reimagines 3D content streaming from the ground up. Our solution leverages a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) that distributes the rendering load across a decentralized network of GPUs.

As a result, Mawari lets you:

  • Scale Globally without Gatekeepers: Instead of relying on traditional, centralized cloud systems, Mawari’s decentralized network enables real-time 3D streaming without needing to deal with gatekeepers like AWS or Google Cloud.

  • Bypass Bandwidth Constraints: Instead of delivering fully rendered scenes Mawari streams object data that is locally rendered before reaching users’ everyday devices. This significant reduction in bandwidth usage enables more instantaneous, responsive user interactions anywhere in the world.

  • Ensure Uninterrupted Uptime: Mawari’s decentralized network eliminates the risk of having a single point of failure to ensure uninterrupted uptime across all global nodes. The result? Uninterrupted content delivery to any device.

In short, Mawari handles all the heavy lifting, so developers can focus on building awe-inspiring immersive experiences with a global reach, without breaking the bank.

And with 50+ deployments globally and many more currently in the works, Mawari’s solution is battle-tested, market-proven, and ready for more action!

Where do you fit in?

Mawari is not just meeting today’s spatial streaming demand—we’re building the infrastructure for the future—and you’re welcome to join us!
