Impacto del Wi-Fi 6 en la Realidad Virtual y Aumentada

Abstract

The integration of virtual and augmented reality technologies in fields as diverse as medicine, engineering, education and marketing has enabled the establishment of new forms of learning, which necessarily require efficient connectivity. This article therefore analyses the fundamental role of Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) in the improvement of immersive experiences, considering aspects such as its superior speed, capacity and efficiency, which respond to the growing demands of this type of applications. This research presents a bibliographic-descriptive study, for which a systematic review has been carried out on the impact of Wi-Fi 6 on virtual and augmented reality, defining variables and inclusion-exclusion criteria in databases such as: SCOPUS, Web of Science, IEEE Explore, Google Scholar, among others. There is no doubt that, in the medical area (surgical and dental), virtual and augmented reality have proven their efficiency in the training of students and professionals, which has improved clinical outcomes and user satisfaction, in relation to the above, Wi-Fi 6 amplifies these advantages by ensuring wireless connectivity with higher data rates and lower latency. As virtual and augmented reality applications evolve and position themselves in various industries, technologies such as Wi-Fi 6 are also required to establish a wireless network infrastructure with increased capacity, better performance in congested environments, faster data rates, reduced latency and energy efficiency.
