The fifth generation of wireless networking technology, known as 5G, promises to take our already well-connected world and transform it into a massive hub of information distribution, unlike any we’ve seen before. With claims of mobile speeds reaching 10 gigabits per second – more than 600 times faster than current 4G standards – users will be able to stream high-quality VR content without latency. The more significant potential lies elsewhere, though, as 5G mobile networks will support, indeed demand, Mixed Reality.
What Will 5G Bring?

Video buffering may become a distant memory as 5G speeds spread across the global mobile network. Since most avid porn fans fap at home, though, it’s also worth noting that massively increased wireless home broadband speeds and bandwidth are also forecasted. Whether sneaking one in during work hours or enjoying some private time with a virtual partner, you’ll require less local processing power and will see not a decrease in performance, but an increase. At least, that’s the promise.

As crucial as increased speed is to the appeal of 5G, the technology is a means to bring many resources – live 4K audio-video and VR streaming, bioanalysis, haptic feedback, social networking, etc. – into one fluidly connected ecosystem. Mixed Reality (MR) can bring all of these elements into play with a clear benefit to the average end-user. For porn fans, MR has so far been something of a mixed bag – if you’ll excuse the pun – with clear hits and near misses both coming from the adult world. As 5G’s true arrival gets closer, MR porn that takes advantage of its benefits will gain traction.
Snapdragon Hatching Soon

Cristiano Amon, President of Qualcomm, whose Snapdragon 865 chips are claimed to bring with them the 5G mobile revolution, identified numerous advantages to the use of practically integrated MR content designed for 5G.

“Someone will be able to walk into a meeting, and with facial recognition, immediately go to the cloud and look at all the different social networks to get information about the person they’re meeting.”
“We’re going to have, almost like a ‘Black Mirror’ episode,” Amon added, no doubt unnerving many would be 5G users. Still, the appeal of fulfilling sexual fantasies and desires is what leads many Black Mirror protagonists down dark tech-ravaged paths. Hopefully, real-world users will manage to keep those fictional future horrors at bay and instead maintain a very human element in any MR system.
Porn’s Huge MR Potential

Refined photo processing made possible with Dolby Vision auto-corrects overexposure, blowouts, and lost detail in darker areas in photos and videos. For the most creative of VR and MR porn producers, 5G means instant access to intelligent filtering of both the traditional (digital) photographic kind and the more outlandish Snapchat-inspired brand sweeping the amateur porn world in recent years. The Snapdragon 865, likely coming to Android smartphones in 2020, also allows for live language translation for fluid conversations between people of all tongues. Imagine walking through a foreign city and chatting with a stranger aided by live translation. Or diving into a global adult social network geared by AI, unrestricted by your lack of fluency in French, Portuguese, or Tagalog.
Mix Reality Your Own Way
More efficient mobile access to adult services will also bring richer digitally produced perceptual overlays into our erotic toolkit. Outfit your bedroom with whatever exotic style your partner desires or fill it with a harem of your ultimate fantasy hotties. Your physical reality altered by haptic feedback that provides the exact pleasures the human equivalents would, immersion into a true (and truly arousing) Mixed Reality is contingent on 5G.
Sounds like something to look forward to.
