The Tactile Internet: Applications and Challenges
TLDR
The Tactile Internet will become a driver for economic growth and innovation and will help bring a new level of sophistication to societies.Abstract:
Wireless communications today enables us to connect devices and people for an unprecedented exchange of multimedia and data content. The data rates of wireless communications continue to increase, mainly driven by innovation in electronics. Once the latency of communication systems becomes low enough to enable a round-trip delay from terminals through the network back to terminals of approximately 1 ms, an overlooked breakthrough?human tactile to visual feedback control?will change how humans communicate around the world. Using these controls, wireless communications can be the platform for enabling the control and direction of real and virtual objects in many situations of our life. Almost no area of the economy will be left untouched, as this new technology will change health care, mobility, education, manufacturing, smart grids, and much more. The Tactile Internet will become a driver for economic growth and innovation and will help bring a new level of sophistication to societies.read more

5G: Personal mobile internet beyond what cellular did to telephony
TL;DR: With the advent of 5G the authors will have the opportunity to leapfrog beyond current Internet capabilities, as potential capabilities of the Internet have not yet been fully exploited by cellular systems.
Free-Viewpoint Video of Human Actors
TL;DR: In this article, the actor's silhouettes are extracted from synchronized video frames via background segmentation and then used to determine a sequence of poses for a 3D human body model.
Haptic Communications
Eckehard Steinbach,Sandra Hirche,Marc O. Ernst,Fernanda Brandi,Rahul Chaudhari,Julius Kammerl,Iason Vittorias +6 more
TL;DR: Haptic communications is stressed the fact that it is not meant as a replacement of traditional audiovisual communications but rather as an additional dimension for telepresence that will allow us to advance in the authors' quest for truly immersive communication.
