Over the past two decades, the Internet-of-Things (IoT) has been a
transformative concept, and as we approach 2030, a new paradigm known as the
Internet of Senses (IoS) is emerging. Unlike conventional Virtual Reality (VR),
IoS seeks to provide multi-sensory experiences, acknowledging that in our
physical reality, our perception extends far beyond just sight and sound; it
encompasses a range of senses. This article explores existing technologies
driving immersive multi-sensory media, delving into their capabilities and
potential applications. This exploration includes a comparative analysis
between conventional immersive media streaming and a proposed use case that
lever- ages semantic communication empowered by generative Artificial
Intelligence (AI). The focal point of this analysis is the substantial
reduction in bandwidth consumption by 99.93% in the proposed scheme. Through
this comparison, we aim to underscore the practical applications of generative
AI for immersive media while addressing the challenges and outlining future
trajectories.

到 2030 年，一种新的名为感知互联网（Internet of Senses，IoS）的模式正在崛起，它旨在提供多感官体验，相较于传统虚拟现实（Virtual Reality，VR），IoS 承认我们在现实世界中的感知远远超过视觉和听觉，该文探讨了推动沉浸式多感官媒体的现有技术，重点研究了它们的功能和潜在应用，包括对比分析了传统沉浸式媒体流媒体和通过生成式人工智能（AI）赋予的语义通信的提案用例，该分析的重点是在提案方案中带来的 99.93％带宽消耗的大幅度降低，通过这种对比，我们旨在强调生成式人工智能在沉浸式媒体中的实际应用，并解决挑战并勾勒未来的发展方向。
