Immersive Video

Overview

Immersive Video is promising to revolutionize the video experience. What began with just 360-degree video has evolved into video with data overlays (XR and AR) and even interactive video. Rather than just a unidirectional delivery of video to a device, such as 360-degree video to a heads-up display, immersive video represents a bi-directional connection between the device: video is being streamed and data, about the user’s interaction within the immersive experience, is being sent to servers where it can further affect the video. This part of the streaming industry is undergoing rapid change across the value-chain. Technologies, business models, and end-user experiences are evolving regularly. It’s clear that the video and broadcast industries need to better understand what is happening in order to make informed decisions about the direction, strategy, and possible implementation of immersive video solutions. In this study group, participating members and selected outside parties will seek to understand and document the immersive video industry in an effort to identify opportunities for developing best practices and other technology solutions.

Objectives

The Streaming Video Technology Alliance Immersive Video Study Group has three objectives. First, to understand the immersive video market and how it is impacting traditional video experiences. Second, to capture the state of immersive video technologies, the players, and use-cases. And, third, to catalog existing standards efforts.
