There are a lot of wireless communication improvements related to WiFi and 5G. I think this opens a lot of doors, especially around low power apps.
Also, somewhat related: secure anonymous data exchange has a lot of cool possible applications beyond health exposure tracking.
- riskable 4y agoOne use case for vastly faster wireless communications: VR headsets. Right now if you use a headset wirelessly you're in for a much worse experience than running a VR application natively on the headset itself. If the headset had a fast enough (and low enough latency) wireless connection to your PC though it'd be an enormous leap forward for the technology. Most VR application/game developers limit their polygons/resources to that of a mid-range mobile phone because that's about what the stand-alone headsets can deliver in terms of graphics/memory performance. However, if they knew that end users were going to be running their applications with PC-level hardware it would enable a whole heck of a lot more detail, better AI, level generation, and all-around functionality in VR applications/games.
