Abstract

The Advent of 6G technology is poised to revolutionize several industries, particularly healthcare, education, and entertainment, through the enhancement of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) applications. With its increased data transfer speeds, ultra-low latency, and expanded network capacity, 6G promises to deliver more immersive and real-time AR/VR experiences. In healthcare, 6G can enable advance applications like remote diagnosis and therapy via VR-based telemedicine and real-time patient monitoring through AR. In education, it will create more engaging interactive virtual learning environments, allowing for highly personalized experience through AR/VR simulations. Meanwhile, in entertainment, 6G will redefine how users engage with digital content, offering more immersive and collaborative experience through the metaverse and VR-based games. However, realizing this potential come with challenges, including the need for robust infrastructure, ensuring data privacy and security, and addressing the hardware limitations required to support such sophisticated AR/VR systems. This paper explores both the opportunities and the hurdles that must be overcome to fully leverage 6G technology for AR/VR applications in these key sectors.
