5G is not only a technology its an Expectation!!
- Expectations to Energy and utilities {EMI(Efficient Metering Infrastructure )}
- Expectations to Improvise the Manufacturing {Blockchains}
- Expectations for HealthCare {Cloud Robotics Surgery}
- Expectations towards Agriculture {Autonomous Vehicles}
- Expectations for Entertainment {3D Broadcast /8K streaming}
- Expectations for Automotive {Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality}
Huge lot of them right !! So Let's sort out.
We gonna talk about the Industry @Hype! and Industry @Recession!
So, Technically speaking the Entertainment and Automotive industry is expanding with the horizons to practically related the virtual to physical experiences.
Evolution is not a one day job so lets browse through how it get started and where we are.
Augmented Reality ,Virtual Reality & Mixed Reality
Virtual Reality
VR is computer generated simulations that help in creating real time or animated experience.
Virtual Reality Mean being something in effect though not in actually or FACT!
Back in 60's foundation was Sensorama which was way advance to let user feel real time extractions like wind blowing or odor were added.
But the problem with revolutionary technologies are
They are real Hard to Adapt!
The best example for Virtual Reality are VR headsets
Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality is enhancement of our real world with a set of magical virtue in it.
Facebook AR is an common example which we use daily with Messenger.
Google Map AR walking.
Mixed Reality
We can phrase it as AR2.0 from the cover looks very similar but have enomorous Overwhelming experiences.
With very short explanation MR = Physical +Digital can coexists and can interact at real time.
Best Example Microsoft Holo Lens !
What is XR then?
Extended Reality is an collaboration of VR + AR +MR =XR
Doesn't it sound's like Sensational! A creative merger for digital , vision, sound with an interactive experience of real world.
XR Senses
There are 3 senses from where we can extract out XR
- Immersion :As the sense of being surrounded by the virtual environment as well as Presence providing the feeling of being physically and spatially located in the virtual environment
- Parallax: is the relative movement of objects as a result of a change in point of view. When objects move relative to each other, users tend to estimate their size and distance
- Occlusion : is the phenomena when one object in a 3D space is blocking another object from being viewed.
On Demand User Experience
As per 3gpp there are certain threshold as per the different experience with one of the online video game Unreal Tournament2003.
Below given are RTT requirements.
So we have a solution with 5G.
URLLC
Though 3gpp have lot many other ways to solve the problem but the best fit is as mentioned.
So big billion question comes here
- Do we have supporting Infrastructure for XR?
Answer : Yes !!
- Any Specification to follow it ?
Answer : 3gpp TS:26.928
- Any Supporting Architecture Design is available ?
Answer : Here it is !
5QI -QOS for XR
Fortunately we have systems design and core processor engine diagrams are also evolved.
Implementations are the biggest challenges Hence,
Augment on-device processing for boundless photorealistic mobile XR
Edge computing is next driven factor which is helping evolving quicker access to Nano Second technologies and much more technology innovations beyond Human expectations.
High speed data connectivity and cloud computing are the key functionalities for tagging the virtual world to physical interfaces, Among most recent example GOOGLE have introduced 6DOF videos provides endless experience for 3D imaging and much more
To know more about it must go ahead and explore the given link.
In the end we have and technology expansion for relating the expectations to reality and to converge all synergies into a "Real World" never seen before experiences.
So our future generations will visualize with degree of freedom .
See yeah everyone !!
