InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDCC) announced its upcoming showcase at AWE USA 2023 with Philips to demonstrate how volumetric video-based codecs and creation pipelines enable increasingly immersive and XR-driven volumetric video experiences. The conference and expo will take place in Santa Clara, California from May 31 – June 2, 2023. The MPEG Visual Volumetric Video-based Coding (V3C) standard defines the general mechanism for coding and streaming volumetric content. Volumetric video is comprised of a sequence of frames, each a 3D representation of a real-world object or scene capture, and thus requires coding standards to compress the content for delivery. InterDigital and Philips jointly collaborate on V3C immersive codecs to enable the delivery of XR content, leveraging InterDigital’s expertise in immersive codecs, including video point cloud compression (V-PCC) and MPEG immersive video (MIV) extensions, alongside Philips’ expertise in MIV extensions and its contributions in critical six degrees of freedom (6DoF) immersive codec and content creation pipelines for 3D reconstruction and rendering. Located at Booth 520, InterDigital and Philips will demonstrate the application of their codec and content creation pipelines for use cases like telelearning. Specifically, InterDigital will showcase MPEG-I Haptics and Scene Description standards enabling sensory-enhanced and interactive experiences to be more efficiently streamed and Philips will demonstrate content creation pipelines for sports and live telepresence technologies. Together, the partners will spotlight their contributions to the MPEG-I V3C standard as well as the first implementation of the V3C Immersive Video Decoder Platform. The codec technologies and content creation pipelines can be applied to a range of XR experiences, allowing innovators to explore immersive content creation for real-time telepresence using depth and color cameras, or sports and media app...
