00:06 [LAUGHTER]
00:08 That was really rough.
00:09 We can share any of the senses of the human body--
00:14 taste, haptics, smells.
00:17 If we can transfer the touch of sense or emotions of the human
00:22 to your parents or your grandparent, kids,
00:26 remotely, we can change the communication society
00:30 in the future.
00:31 We can avoid any problem about the distance.
00:34 Heartbeat is one of the elements to show the emotions.
00:39 And of course, temperature or face color
00:44 can be related to the emotion.
00:46 And also, if we can store such kind of data in our network--
00:52 for example, if you take an animal, the pet,
00:56 you can touch your pets.
00:58 Anytime, you can feel the pet anywhere.
01:00 So if your pet died, even after the pet died,
01:04 you can touch your pet anytime.
01:07 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:09 No worries.
01:10 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:13 Actually, some of the current field tech applications
01:28 can be provided on the current 5G network.
01:32 So some of the-- for example, haptics data is not so big.
01:37 We can easily transfer the haptics data on the 5G network.
01:41 High-quality videos-- maybe some kind of services
01:46 can be provided on the 5G.
01:47 But with more gorgeous video and more precise haptics data,
01:54 we need to wait for the 6G.
01:55 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:58 And also, if we can detect brain signals--
02:18 yes, brain tech--
02:20 maybe we can realize the science fiction world,
02:23 like telepathy, telekinesis.
02:26 That can be realized through the 6G network.
02:29 So such kind of brand-new, interesting, excellent
02:33 services we want to create.
