Title
Enhancing Tourist Experiences through 5G - The 5G Smart Tourism Case Study
Abstract
The pioneering 5G Smart Tourism (5GST) project demonstrates how the cultural, heritage and tourism sectors can create interactive immersive experiences in a way never seen before; from an augmented reality tour of the 2000 year old Roman Baths, to 360 degree immersive experiences, and an entirely new way of looking at art, all enabled by 5G. This paper presents the key technical findings from the public trials of several 5GST use cases. These findings explain how Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) infrastructure is utilized to run compute workloads closer to the end user, therefore reducing end-to-end latency and thus improving quality of user experience. Finally, this paper discusses how 5G will transform the business models for delivering such 5G-enabled services.
