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. … Show more
“…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.…”
Millimeter wave communication systems can provide high data rates, but the system performance may degrade significantly due to interruptions by mobile blockers, such as humans or vehicles. High-frequency interruptions and lengthy blockage durations will degrade the quality of the user's experience. A promising solution is to employ the macrodiversity of base stations (BSs), where the user equipment (UE) can handover to other available BSs if the current serving BS gets blocked. However, an analytical model to evaluate the system performance of dynamic blockage events in this setting is unknown. In this paper, we develop a line-of-sight (LOS) dynamic blockage model and evaluate the probability, duration, and frequency of blockage events considering all the links to the UE which are not blocked by buildings or the user's own body. For a dense urban area, we also analyze the impact of non-LOS links on blockage events. Our results indicate that the minimum density of the BS required to satisfy the quality of service requirements of ultra-reliable low-latency communication applications will be driven mainly by blockage and latency constraints, rather than coverage or capacity requirements.

“…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).…”
By leveraging emerging technologies in augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), a Virtual Dental Library and AR virtual tooth identification test were developed at a U. S. dental school. The AR virtual tooth identification test is a vision‐ based AR application that uses three‐dimensional models of extracted human teeth as test items. The aims of this study were to investigate the validity of the AR virtual tooth identification test and evaluate the users' experience with the virtual testing method. The AR virtual tooth identification test scores were compared with real tooth identification tests, scores on three quizzes, final exam, and final grade for the course to assess its validity. In addition, a survey was used to assess students' perceptions of the AR tool. In 2018, all 109 first‐year dental students who had completed the dental anatomy course were invited to participate in the study. Of the 93 participants, 61 (56% of total students) were included in the correlation analysis (32 were excluded due to incomplete test answer sheets or missing criterion measures). All 93 could respond to the survey and provide comments. In the results, the AR virtual tooth identification test had a positive correlation with the real tooth identification test (r=0.410, p<0.01), a combined score of two real tooth identification tests (r=0.545, p<0.01), the final exam (r=0.489, p<0.01), and overall grade for the dental anatomy course (r=0.661, p<0.01). On the tests, the students had some difficulty in viewing and manipulating the images and experienced technical difficulties related to their smartphones, and their survey responses expressed little support for the AR tool. Nevertheless, this study demonstrated criterion validity of the AR virtual assessment tool for tooth identification.

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.…”
In this article, the interaction between augmented reality and flying ubiquitous sensor networks (FUSN) technologies is investigated Such modern applications require development of the new traffic patterns, which can be used to establish a new approach to the further Quality of Experience assurance and estimation. The proposed new traffic pattern captures service space model, model of an environment of the user and behavior model.
