Challenge
Deutsche Telekom's goal is to keep customers close and improve experiences in-store and at home.
This T-Challenge is all about XR in a hybrid environment.
Together with T-Mobile U.S., Deutsche Telekom is inviting developers, researchers & creatives to provide new ideas and solutions on how to improve customer experience in hybrid XR environments in-store and at home.
Deutsche Telekom/ T-mobile want to explore keeping their customers close and active by using “XR in a hybrid environment”, where they can showcase products and provide excellent customer support in-store and at home.
As the world works to find a new post-pandemic normal, Deutsche Telekom believes that people will be incentivized to shop and seek support through the intersection of online and in person experiences.
Technology – specifically augmented, virtual, and mixed reality technologies (collectively XR) – will make it possible for us to work, learn, and interact with one another while remaining physically distant.
