Description (French)
Projet d'Allemagne ZIM VAVS avec l'Institut Fraunhaofer Heinrich Hertz (HHI) et nanocosmos GmbH (NC) intitulé « Viewpoint-Adaptive 360 Video Streaming for Live and Video on Demand ». Le projet s'attaque à deux obstacles fondamentaux à l'adoption de la vidéo immersive : une faible qualité d'image associée à des exigences excessives en matière de largeur de bande. Le projet vise à résoudre ce problème en intégrant la nouvelle norme vidéo MPEG-OMAF et l'audio binaural dans les solutions logicielles de vidéo interactive et de réalité virtuelle 360 de Liquid Cinema. L'amélioration considérable de la qualité de l'image et de l'audio qui en résulte, qui améliore grandement l'expérience du consommateur, associée à des économies importantes de bande passante et de coûts pour les fournisseurs de contenu, permettra à Liquid Cinema Inc. de déployer ses produits dans un marché plus vaste, de développer de nouvelles composantes de produits génératrices de revenus futurs et de conserver sa position dominante dans un marché international très concurrentiel.
