Samsung Says 6G Will Bring ‘Digital Twins’

‘It will be possible to replicate people, devices, objects, systems, and even places in a virtual world,’ a research paper states

Samsung has revealed its plans for 6G technology, outlining its vision for “digital twins” of our physical selves.

In a research paper published on Wednesday, the South Korean smartphone giant stated that there will be three key 6G services: Immersive extended reality (XR); high-fidelity mobile hologram; and digital replicas.

“With the help of advanced sensors, AI, and communication technologies, it will be possible to replicate physical entities, including people, devices, objects, systems, and even places, in a virtual world,” the white paper states.

“In a 6G environment, through digital twins, users will be able to explore and monitor the reality in a virtual world, without temporal or spatial constraints. Users will be able to observe changes or detect problems remotely through the representation offered by digital twins.”
