Volumetric video streaming technologies are the future of immersive media services such as virtual, augmented, and mixed-reality experiences. The challenges surrounding such technologies are tremendous due to the high network bandwidth needed to produce ...

Virtual Reality (VR) sickness or cybersickness affects around 80% of the users of immersive media. Commonly known as the discrepancy between the vestibular and visual systems, it causes symptoms such as disorientation, dizziness, or nausea during ...

Dynamic Point Clouds are a representation for 3D immersive media that allows users to freely navigate a scene while consuming the content. However, this comes at the cost of substantial data size, requiring efficient compression techniques to make point ...

The ubiquity of acoustic devices and the fine-grained sensing of acoustic signals have made acoustic device tracking a popular option. We propose to expand the use of commercial devices with microphones as an extension of the audio system to support ...

Recent developments in immersive imaging technologies have enabled improved telepresence applications. Being fully matured in the commercial sense, omnidirectional (360-degree) content provides full vision around the camera with three degrees of freedom ...

Based on the three rotational degrees (video in three dimensions, on the X, Y and Z axes) of freedom provided by VR, the viewer is free to control the viewing point and has six degrees of freedom (6DoF). When watching a sports game, the audience ...

In this work, a novel 6DoF mesh saliency database is developed which provides both the subject’s 6DoF data and eye-movement data. Different from traditional databases, subjects in the experiment are allowed to move freely to view 3D ...

The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) has started an immersive media standard project to enable multi-view video and depth representation in three-dimensional (3D) scenes. The MPEG immersive video (MIV) standard explores the six degree of freedom (...

Immersive media experiences are anticipated to become the norm in entertainment and communication in the near future, enabled by advances in computer graphics, capture and display systems, and networking technology. Immersive experiences are based on a ...

Immersive video streaming technologies improve Virtual Reality (VR) user experience by providing users more intuitive ways to move in simulated worlds, e.g., with 6 Degree-of-Freedom (6DoF) interaction mode. A naive method to achieve 6DoF is deploying ...

We propose a light-weight 6DoF video production pipeline which uses only one stereo camera as input. The subject can move freely in any direction (lateral and depth) as the stereo camera follows to keep the subject within the frame. DeepKeying, our own ...

Designing a fully integrated 360° video camera supporting 6DoF head motion parallax requires overcoming many technical hurdles, including camera placement, optical design, sensor resolution, system calibration, real-time video capture, depth ...

Virtual view synthesis is a critical step in enabling Six-Degrees of Freedom (DoF) immersion experiences in Virtual Reality (VR). It comprises synthesis of virtual viewpoints for a user navigating the immersion environment, based on a small subset of ...

In this paper, we present a new dataset in order to serve as a support for researches in Free Viewpoint Television (FTV) and 6 degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) immersive communication. This dataset relies on a novel acquisition procedure consisting in a ...

Up to now in mobile Virtual Reality (VR), we have been able to only control the camera orientation with our head. However, premium smartphones already incorporate the essential technology to track user position. Apple ARKit and Google ARCore designed ...

Lytro Immerge is the world's first professional Light Field solution for VR, providing true presence for live action VR through six degrees of freedom (6DoF) playback.

Lytro's 6DoF playback allows the viewer to move around freely in the viewing ...
