InterDigital and Philips to Showcase Volumetric Streaming Technologies Empowering Immersive Sports Experiences at AWE USA 2024
11 Junho 2024 - 5:00AM
InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDCC), a mobile, video and AI
technology research and development company, and Philips announced
an upcoming showcase at AWE USA 2024 to demonstrate how volumetric
video-based codecs and streaming technologies enable completely new
levels of immersivity when streaming live and eSports experiences.
The AWE conference and expo will take place in Long Beach,
California from June 18 – 20, 2024.
Located at Booth 233, InterDigital and Philips will jointly
demonstrate their immersive technologies and contributions to video
standards that enable the rendering and delivery of volumetric
video experiences. Volumetric video adds the sensation of depth and
parallax to traditional content by capturing 3D representations of
a real-world object or scenes and translating them into a sequence
of frames that can be transmitted across devices. Given the
richness of volumetric data, the delivery of this video content
requires special compression, and the MPEG Visual Volumetric
Video-based Coding (V3C) standard defines the general mechanism for
coding and streaming volumetric content.
InterDigital and Philips’ collaboration on V3C immersive codecs
empowers the delivery of volumetric content, leveraging
InterDigital’s expertise in immersive codecs, including video point
cloud compression (V-PCC), haptics, and MPEG immersive video (MIV)
extensions, alongside Philips’ expertise in MIV extensions and
contributions to critical six degrees of freedom (6DoF) immersive
codec and content creation pipelines for 3D rendering.
At AWE, the partners will demonstrate the application of their
innovations to deliver live and recorded volumetric video for
streamed sport and eSport experiences. InterDigital will showcase
contributions to MPEG Immersive Video, Haptics, and Scene
Description standards empowering the streaming of volumetric and
sensory-enhanced content for recorded eSports gameplay. Philips
will demonstrate its video technologies that enable the capture and
streaming of volumetric-enhanced live sports content. Together, the
partners will spotlight their contributions to the MPEG-I V3C
standard and MPEG-DASH platform, which fosters the sensation of
real-time telepresence and volumetric realism that can be applied
across a diversity of content experiences. The partners’ V3C
implementation will soon be included, in “early access mode,” in
the 5G-MAG Reference Tools repositories hosted by the 5G-MAG Media
Action Group (see here).
“Advancements in video codecs and volumetric streaming
technologies unlock new ways of being immersed in video, especially
at a time when audiences are enjoying more streamed sports content
than ever,” said Lionel Oisel, VP and Head of Video Labs,
InterDigital. “The complement of Philips and InterDigital’s
volumetric research and innovation empowers the wide scale delivery
of crisper, more dynamic immersive content across a variety of
devices and use cases.”
“Sports clubs and leagues are seeking new ways to attract
viewers and increase fandom. Volumetric sports content that is
immersive and interactive places fans in control of how to see the
action and will further grow the attractiveness of watching sports
on mobile, interactive and immersive devices,” said Jako Eleveld,
VP and Head of IP Licensing at Philips. “Together with InterDigital
we demonstrate how standards like MPEG V3C work with our multi
camera capturing and 6DoF rendering technologies to enable this for
the industry.”
InterDigital and Philips will showcase at AWE US at
Booth 233 from June 18 - 20. In addition, InterDigital’s
Video Solutions Group Senior Director Valerie Allie and Philips
Senior Scientist Christiaan Varekamp will deliver a talk on
“Empowering Immersive Sports Experiences,” providing an overview of
their companies’ contributions to video codecs and volumetric
capture technologies that empower the sharing of scalable XR
solutions across a variety of platforms, particularly for immersive
sports experiences. The presentation will be delivered on Wednesday
June 19 at 4:00pm PT in Room 101B.
