The novel class of optical modulators can make data transfer over optical fiber communication faster and more efficient.
Whether you’re battling foes in a virtual arena or collaborating with colleagues across the globe, lag-induced disruptions can be a major hindrance to seamless communication and immersive experiences.
That’s why researchers with UCF’s College of Optics and Photonics (CREOL) and the University of California, Los Angeles, have developed new technology to make data transfer over optical fiber communication faster and more efficient.
At the moment, yep, completely agree.
In the future, maybe not so much. Think cloud gaming. Think VR. Think 4k per eye atm, scaled up as tech improvements scale up to much higher resolutions than we currently have. Maybe multiple people streaming VR games at the same time in the same household.
Now put all of that together.
Bandwidth isn’t an issue right now, but this could potentially be a pretty sweet improvement as we move forward.
Video conferencing however… Not sure how that would benefit from this.
