Empowering Immersive Sports Experiences

Enhanced connectivity and emerging immersive technologies will enliven virtual experiences with sensations only achievable in the physical world today. New haptic innovation and improvements in volumetric sensing and communication will facilitate an exciting future for XR and immersive use cases.

Live and Esports have attracted huge streaming audiences worldwide, and immersive technologies will add a new level of depth to the experience that will make audiences feel engaged like never before. These represent the first of many experiences to be enhanced by volumetric video capture, streaming, and haptic feedback technologies. Standards such as MPEG Visual Volumetric Video-based Coding and other MPEG Immersive standards play a critical role in ensuring interoperability across such new and emerging immersive experiences, while maintaining data rates that are sustainable and economically viable for the industry.

InterDigital’s Video Lab and Philips IP&S will demonstrate their 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.
