6G, the next big mobile technology: Internet of the senses, anyone?

 Internet of things (IoT), which connects myriad devices on 5G, ena­bling augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) could soon become passé. Experts say that with the speed and ultra low latency of 6G, in addition to its high density network, consumers will also be able to touch, feel and even smell in the digital world. Sounds like science fiction? Yes, but many companies are already working to bring about digital sensory experiences very similar to what we experience in our physical life.
