Augmented Reality (AR) is a concept and a set of technologies for merging of real and virtual elements to produce new visualizations – typically a video – where physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real time. Most AR applications support real-time interaction with content (AR scene with virtual...
Over the last few years, we watched head-worn virtual and augmented reality devices move from research laboratories to store shelves as the newest platform enabling novel virtual experiences. The big promise of emerging mixed reality (MR) technology is a far deeper immersion into imaginary worlds than is possible with the...
Smart city technologies could save enterprises, governments and citizens globally over US $5 trillion annually by 2022. This is the conclusion reached by ABI Research in this new white paper, which analyzes the scope for cost savings and efficiency as a driver for smart city deployments, smart technologies and the...
While the IoT market in general was slow to capture the public's imagination prior to 2017, one area where IoT is blooming is in the smart city and smart building industry; mass rollouts of IoT in an industrial setting, including urban environments and business hubs, are beginning to garner success....
MEC and other edge computing initiatives address the need to place processing and storage where appropriate, whether a central location or the network’s edge, depending on factors such as applications, traffic type, network conditions, subscriber profile, and operator’s preference. In this InterDigital sponsored report, RCRWireless explores the evolution of the...
In practice, making existing cities smart is proving hard. Many different stakeholders need to be involved, while sensors, controls and connectivity can be difficult to install in dense urban environments. In response, some cities are now experimenting with low cost, low power Internet of Things technologies that could usher in...
In wireless networks such as those based on IEEE 802.11, packet losses due to fading and interference are often misinterpreted as indications of congestion, causing unnecessary decrease in the data sending rate due to congestion control at higher layer protocols. For delay-constrained applications such as video teleconferencing, packet losses may...
5G will deliver the next level of experience and enable a diverse array of 5G services. Learn about eHealth services, pervasive video and high quality content, and enabling tactile internet in this 2015 Mobile World Congress presentation.
An examination of the value chain that drives video is necessary to understand and examine the future of video distribution. Operators, broadcasters or platforms that either produce or aggregate content, pay for video distribution with revenues generated directly by consumers or via advertising. In the past five years, consumer expectation...
