IEC Type 4 is an Akraino approved blueprint and part of Akraino Edge Stack. The project is focused on AR VR applications running on edge.
In general, the architecture consists of three layers: Iaas(IEC), PaaS(Tars), SaaS(AR/VR Application).
In general, there are multiple use cases for AR VR itemized below. For Release 2, we focus on building the infrastructure and virtual classroom application (Highlighted in dark purple color).
Virtual Classroom is a basic app that allows you to live a virtual reality experience simulating a classroom with teachers and students.
UseCases | Value Proposition |
Operation Guidance | Predict the next step for the operations(like assembling Lego blocks, cooking sandwiches, etc) and help people to achieve a goal. |
Virtual Classroom | Simulating a virtual classroom, which improves online education experiences for the teachers and students. |
Sports Live | Augment and simulate the sports live, which gives the audiences an amazing immersive watching experience. |
Gaming | Augment and simulate the game scenario, let players enjoy an immersive game world. |
After successfully deploy the virtual classroom application, the following virtual classroom is waiting for you. Enjoy!
The whole architecture, shown below, consists of two parts: the front end and the backend.

For more information about IEC, refer to the following documents:
三个优化点:
1) 高性能的RPC协议
2) Tars轻量化裁剪
3)IEC+Tars
Release 2 is the first release for IEC Type 4. So everything is new.
For R2, we deploy IEC in Tencent Cloud for Release. The detailed hardware is itemized below:
CPU+Memory | Drive | Deployment |
4Core * 16G | 50G | Jenkins Master |
4Core * 16G | 50G | Jenkins Slave + Virtual Classroom Backend + Tars + IEC |
