/in /by
  • Telefónica presents five use cases with the Malaga Police for more efficient urban mobility management, based on 5G technology.
  • At the University of Malaga, three other use cases have been developed to offer students immersive educational experiences and remote access to laboratory equipment.

 

University of Malaga: the future of education thanks to 5G: Telefónica is working with teachers at the University of Malaga (UMA) in the development of advanced education technology tools that use Virtual Reality and the virtualisation of physical devices. With these proposals, they will offer their students immersive educational experiences and access to laboratory equipment remotely with a user experience as if they were working with that equipment physically inside the university's laboratories, facilitating remote access for students to educational resources in the current pandemic situation and improving the educational experience with the application of the latest technologies. One of the three 5G-based use cases that have been carried out with the Virtual Teaching Service and the UMA Institute of Technology and Software Engineering has consisted of the use of a virtual world to facilitate online teaching between students and teachers where they can interact and where the teacher can make use of audiovisual resources to teach their subjects. The computer system used is Opensimulator, which allows the interaction of avatars in a 3D virtual world.
