Abstract

Next generation broadband cellular networks, e.g. 5G, will enable technological advancements. Ultra-low latency, less packet loss and high data rates should be able to fill the requirements for disruptive technologies such as augmented reality and ubiquitous services. One possible concept for using new 5G enabled disruptive technology in persuasion could be real-time holograms, for instance, using social roles as models for virtual avatars that could act as personal trainers for increasing physical activity. Just imagine celebrities such as Arnold Schwarzenegger. Running and exercising with Arnold while getting encouragement might be motivating for some, whereas those open to instructive authority could pump iron with Arnold’s hologram. Through holographic simulation of oneself, one could perceive the link between the cause e.g. exercising and effect e.g. getting fit or losing weight.
