“The Tactile Internet – IoT, 5G and Cloud on Steroids”

Abstract:
Currently we can see and hear through the Internet, but we cannot touch. We have a vision to create the Tactical Internet, where we would be able to touch through the median of the internet. This would transform some very basic but vital tasks, like online shopping where the user might want to touch and feel the texture of a dress or jacket before buying it, but, most importantly, this has the potential to transform the way that healthcare, engineering and wealth is delivered globally. We will be able to convey physical, tactile experiences remotely and thus invoke a fundamental shift from content-delivery to skillset-delivery networks. This talk will summarize the potentials, building blocks and challenges which lay ahead for designing the Tactile Internet.
