Chapter 14: Roles and Challenges of 6G for the Human–Computer Interface

Needless to say, technology flies like time. Within a relatively short span of about 30 years, we have been able to visualize the advent of 2G, 3G, 4G, and, finally today, the whole world is fondly using 5G. It is without a doubt that the 5G network is successfully satisfying customers’ needs, but dealing with the flow of excessive data and massive network densification all around the world has made things difficult for telecommunications and industry digitalization. Thus, the evolution of wireless communication beyond 5G (B5G) or 6G may not only be necessary for future industry growth, encompassing massive digital transformation of several industries, but also certainly plausible. In this context, we will show, for example, that 6G is expected to deal with multi-sensory technologies in order to create new ways for people to interact with each other and with other technologies, in an effort to be updated with the upcoming global sustainability and fairness trends. 6G is believed to be a self-content application of Artificial Intelligence. Thus, as researchers, it is the right time to investigate and discover upcoming 6G technology deliverables, especially for the human–computer interface (HCI). HCI is a multidisciplinary topic of investigation and also a broad term that connects Computer Science, Cognitive Science, and Human Factors Engineering. HCI no longer focuses on the behavior of individual or generic users, but it broadens its base towards organizational and social computing. This chapter aims to clarify the proposed road map that lies ahead, which identifies certain roles of 6G technology for the human–computer interface. It also explores its role in current businesses and organizations. The chapter also unearths key tenets of the literature on the subject as well as helps researchers to discover both identified and unidentified challenges of 6G for HCI. The chapter also intends to identify potential technology challenges that may lie ahead and provide a solution for many upcoming problems and open a new horizon for imminent research on the matter, in order to advance knowledge in these areas. The main purpose of this chapter is to analyze and deliberate the various potentials and flaws of 6G for human–computer interfaces.
