Abstract

This article analyzes the development of
augmented reality (AR) services in the context of the emergence of the tactile internet. It examines key
concepts, technological challenges, and prospects for the application of the latest systems.
Relevance of the topic. The development of modern telecommunications technologies and the
transition to fifth-generation (5G) and future sixth-generation (6G) networks create the fundamental
prerequisites for the implementation of the Tactile Internet concept. Unlike traditional mobile
communications, which are focused on transmitting audiovisual content, the Tactile Internet allows for the
real-time transmission of touch, sensations, and physical skills over distance. One of the most promising
areas for integrating this concept is the field of Augmented Reality (AR). Traditional AR systems are limited
to overlaying graphical or audio information onto the real world; however, providing users with tactile
feedback has the potential to take multimodal interaction to a fundamentally new level. This opens up
unprecedented opportunities for medicine, education, manufacturing, and the entertainment industry. At the
same time, the combination of AR and the Tactile Internet places critical demands on telecommunications
infrastructure, particularly regarding reliability and ultra-low latency (up to 1 ms), making research into
this issue extremely relevant.
The aim of this study is to analyze the characteristics, technological challenges, and development
prospects of augmented reality services within the framework of the Tactile Internet concept.
Keywords: augmented reality (AR), Tactile Internet, ultra-low latency, multimodal interaction,
telecommunications networks, 5G/6G, edge computing
