The present document provides technologies for the deployment of Augmented Reality (AR) as defined in TR 26.928 and the execution of Augmented Reality applications on targeted devices such as those identified in TR 26.998. On the spectrum of eXtended Reality (XR) experiences, Augmented Reality overlay virtual information on top of the user's perception of the real environment. Those virtual and real components of the scene seamlessly blend together from the user's perspective. Additionally, some AR experiences can enable interactivity between the user and the virtual components of the scene. In the present document, the focus lies in the definition of the media capabilities for AR devices, including media format encapsulation capabilities, media codec capabilities, processing function capabilities. The related minimum required performances for different device types are also defined.

The present document defines the supported media formats, codecs, processing functions for XR Devices in UE per XR device type category. The present document addresses the interoperability gaps identified in the conclusions of TR 26.998.

The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.

• References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non-specific.
• For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
• For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.
