Hwangryongsa Temple in Silla, with only traces left, revived with AR technology
It is possible to transmit and process a lot of data at high speed.
Realization of 5G high-speed communication in subway… Demonstration on Line 8
[앵커]
Augmented reality AR, virtual reality VR technology needs to process a lot of data at ultra high speed.
This is why 5G communication technology appeared.
Researchers in Korea have developed a data transmission technology that allows users to enjoy AR and VR seamlessly even in high-speed subways.

This is the site of Hwangryongsa Temple, a thousand-year old temple in Silla.
Only traces remain, but when augmented reality AR technology is added to this place, the vivid image of Hwangryongsa is revived.
This is possible thanks to 5G communication technology, which can send and process large data at high speed.
Researchers in Korea have succeeded in implementing ultra-high-speed communication capable of augmented reality even in fast-running subways.
The section from Jamsil Station of Subway Line 8 to Songpa Station, which has an exceptionally large number of curved sections.
It enables data to be transmitted and received wirelessly using ultra-high frequencies of 30㎓ or more, and keeps the signal seamless in line with the movement of the subway.
The wireless communication speed confirmed in the running subway is 1.9 gigabps.
Currently, it is about 30 times faster than the average speed of 58.5 MegaBPS of LTE wireless LAN service provided in the subway.

In particular, it has also succeeded in demonstrating the immersive augmented reality technology developed by the UK team that started joint research.
It is a service that looks like you are trying on real shoes when you choose shoes with your smartphone and light your feet.

The research team will also conduct a subway demonstration in the UK next month.
In addition, we plan to continue commercialization research that can apply high-speed wireless network technology in various mobile environments as well as subways.
