In a groundbreaking development, **Bell Canada, Verizon, Vodafone, and Matsuko** have successfully orchestrated the first live transatlantic meeting connecting multiple holographic participants from Canada, the US, and the UK utilizing 5G and multi-access edge computing (MEC) technology. This undertaking was part of an effort by the 5G Future Forum (5GFF) and was showcased at the Mobile World Congress exhibition in Las Vegas.
The technology used creates a more personal and collaborative experience by interacting with holograms of humans instead of avatars, proving beneficial for multiple domains including remote healthcare, collaborative working, and education. This was made possible by combining the speed of 5G and the rapid response times of MEC, moving the requisite computing closer to the network’s edge, ensuring the reliability and consistency of the holograms by minimizing delays from different locations and across the internet.
The innovative meeting connected holograms of employees located in Toronto using Bellâ??s 5G network, New York utilizing Verizonâ??s 5G network, and London using Vodafoneâ??s 5G network. MATSUKO’s real-time software, coupled with just a single camera and its patented technology, were instrumental in creating and streaming the holograms, providing an immersive experience that combines virtual and augmented reality and creating a sensation of sharing the same room with participants.
This demonstration not only highlights the capabilities and innovations 5G can offer but also emphasizes the advancement in making collaborative experiences more personalized and interactive, paving the way for its extensive application in various fields in the near future.
