Virtual and Augmented Reality on the 5G Highway

Abstract

Abstract:In recent years, virtual and augmented reality have begun to take advantage of the high speed capabilities of data streaming technologies and wireless networks. However, limitations like bandwidth and latency still prevent us from achieving high fidelity telepresence and collaborative virtual and augmented reality applications. Fortunately, both researchers and engineers are aware of these problems and have set out to design 5G networks to help us to move to the next generation of virtual interfaces. This paper reviews state of the art virtual and augmented reality communications technology and outlines current efforts to design an effective, ubiquitous 5G network to help to adapt to virtual application demands. We discuss application needs in domains like telepresence, education, healthcare, streaming media, and haptics, and provide guidelines and future directions for growth based on this new network infrastructure.

Validity and User Experience in an Augmented Reality Virtual Tooth Identification Test

“…The Virtual Dental Library can be accessed by students using a VR head-mounted device or mobile application on smartphones to view the library contents. VR immerses users in an entirely computer-generated virtual world that replaces the real world, 7 while AR supplements the real world with virtual content to enhance user perceptions. 8 The Virtual Dental Library and its VR/AR applications were developed using a conceptual model of the educational triangle involving student, teacher, and learning tool and their interaction to inluence academic and afective outcomes ( Figure 1).…”

The Impact of Mobile Blockers on Millimeter Wave Cellular Systems

“…At the same time, it may also have many NLOS paths available due to refections by buildings and other structures. We evaluate our blockage [40] analysis in the urban area with static blockages, LOS and NLOS paths along with dynamic and self-blockage. The typical parameters used for simulation and numerical evaluation are presented in the Table III.…”

Investigation of Traffic Pattern for the Augmented Reality Applications

“…Authors evaluate the impact of additional simulated traffic on the performance of mobile wireless network. The researches from Japan in [16] review 5G network to perform augmented reality applications. They investigated the influence of the bandwidth and the latency on the development and implementation augmented reality services.…”
