Best Use of 5G Currencies in Immersive Media

We challenge BrickHackers to show how 5G can be applied to create new value in the media industry. 5G will create new opportunities for creators and consumers to tell stories and share their points of view – and likely much more. Additionally, we’d like teams to consider situations in which immersive content might be streamed across thousands of simultaneous connections on 5G within one venue (e.g. mall, stadium, park, etc.) given the challenges of implementing high bandwidth solutions over WiFi without massive infrastructure investment. For an intro to the power of 5G, see Verizon's CEO Hans Vestburg's speech at CES 2019.
