Intel Uses VR to Explain the Future of 5G Networks
To help explain how 5G networks will be a massive part of our lives, Intel is using VR to take you on a journey of the future. Groove Jones and Intel’s experiential team Infinity Marketing worked together to create this fantastic journey, which debuted at the CeBIT Conference in Germany. CeBIT is the largest and most internationally represented computer expo in the world.
5G is a new network system with much higher speeds, capacity, and much lower latency than existing cellular systems. The technologies in 5G are still being defined, but Intel is helping drive that network.
