Overview
CloudXR is NVIDIA's streaming SDK for delivering virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) across 5G and Wi-Fi networks. This AMI includes the CloudXR server driver, as well as NVIDIA's RTX Virtual Workstation software (formerly known as Quadro Virtual Workstation). Paired together, they provide the foundation for high-fidelity streaming of XR content from AWS to users' AR and VR devices. This is an introductory offer of NVIDIA CloudXR that will continue to be developed and improved for future AWS listings. In order to access the client portion of this product, please email: nvidia_cloudxr_csp@nvidia.com
Highlights
- Leveraging the graphical acceleration of NVIDIA GPUs, NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation and the NVIDIA CloudXR software delivers high quality, low latency streaming of OpenVR-based AR and VR applications.
- CloudXR works with all OpenVR-based VR and AR applications. Developers don't need to modify or reconfigure their applications, and users don't need to modify their workflows. After installing your favorite OpenVR applications on this AMI, you can immediately start streaming from AWS to your local AR and VR devices. CloudXR's streaming engine continuously monitors and adjusts to the realtime network bandwidth and latency, delivering an optimal XR experience wherever you are.
- NVIDIA V100 Tensor Core GPU accelerates AI, high performance computing, data science and graphics. If interested in using this AMI with a V100 GPU, please reach out to nvidia_cloudxr_csp@nvidia.com

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

It was cool and I got it to work, but the latency was too high to enjoy
I tried playing Minecraft VR and streaming it to my Quest 2. I’m not exactly sure why the latency was so high but my guess is that it’s because I’m hosting in us-East-2 (Ohio) and I’m located in Dallas. I tried using AWS Local Zones for DFW but EC2 complained that that configuration wasn’t supported. Oh well. I think there’s some great potential here but I’d love to hear how it worked for folks who live close to an AWS availability zone.
