Before this year’s emergenCITY week, Klara Nahrstedt, member of the scientific advisory board of the LOEWE Research Center, will give a lecture as part of the emergenCITY Distinguished Lecture Series. In her talk, she will address the network and system challenges involved in the transmission of multi-view video content to high-end mobile devices. She will also discuss solutions that meet the streaming and display requirements of multi-view video content.
Title: “Next Generation Multi-View Video Content Delivery to Mobile VR/AR Devices”
Speaker: Klara Nahrstedt, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA
Date: Thursday, May 22, 2025, 4:15 p.m.
Venue: S3|20, Room 111, TU Darmstadt
About the Lecture
With 360 video cameras and generative AI technologies generating Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) video content, we are faced with new multi-view video content to be delivered to high-end mobile devices such as VR/AR headsets and smartphones. One of the main goals with such a multi-view video content is to deliver high quality of experience to users when streaming, viewing, and interacting with multi-view video content.
In this talk, we will discuss system and network challenges and solutions how to prepare, stream, and deliver next generation multi-view video content to AR/VR end devices with high quality of experience. Numerous potential system and network solutions are becoming available to satisfy the streaming and viewing demands of multi-view video content, including designing view-based protocols, experimenting with viewport navigation and prediction techniques, and developing neural network-based streaming and rendering services for interactive viewing. Current results of multi-view video systems show promising new concepts and algorithms to enable high quality of experience, but further challenges remain.
