The challenge
Enhancing education with more innovative, scalable methods
Educators from K–12 to higher education know that technology innovation can be critical to engaging and effectively teaching students.
New tools for collaboration and augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) could elevate the educational experience.
Schools need the right internet connectivity and bandwidth to support these tools.
On average, a student can remember 30% of what they hear and 20% of what they see, but students remember 90% of the material if it is learned through experience.
Twenty-eight percent of XR industry experts forecast that the education sector will be most disrupted by immersive technologies over the next 12 months.
Thirty million is the projected number of U.S. virtual reality users in 2022.
5G opportunities
5G-enhanced educational possibilities
Educators from K–12 to higher education are looking for more effective, engaging ways to educate students.
VR offers new possibilities for students to interact with educational content within a virtual, three-dimensional learning environment.
These VR experiences require high bandwidth and high refresh rates.
Because of 5G’s ability to support increased data volumes with low lag (or latency), it can be ideal for supporting VR or other AR experiences.
Cómo funciona
5G puts the reality into virtual reality learning experiences.
Students in classrooms and remote locations put on VR headsets and enter a multiuser VR experience set in outer space, showing planets and star systems.
Large amounts of data are used to create immersive virtual learning environments, all powered by 5G.
