Multi access edge computing (MEC) is an extension of 5G network on the edge side. Its network characteristics of high bandwidth and low delay provide necessary guarantee for the extreme user experience of VR (virtual reality). At the same time, the distributed architecture of 5g MEC network and the fast data exchange capability between nodes provide the hardware foundation for VR application marginalization deployment and equipment mobility access. Considering the cost and experience of VR, this paper first analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of VR based on traditional hardware architecture, and then describes the benefits of MEC on VR cost and experience. Finally, taking VR live video scene as an example, the key technologies of VR based on MEC are described.
