Abstract: A method of processing multi-view video data by an server is described, wherein the method may comprise receiving one or more first multi-view parameters from a client device, the one or more multi-view parameters being indicative of a first data format associated with a multi-view display device of the client device; receiving a request for a segment sent by the client device based on a manifest file, the segment request comprising a segment resource locator identifying a first source segment comprising first multi-view video data, the segment resource locator comprising one or more second multi-view parameters indicating that the first multi-view video data are of a second data format; generating a segment of the first data format based on the one or more first multi-view parameters, the first multi-view video data and, optionally, further multi-view video data associated with one or more further source segments; and, transmitting the generated segment to the client device.

Abstract: A streaming server and a streaming client are described, with the streaming server being configured for streaming video data representing a panoramic video of a scene to the streaming client. The panoramic video may show the scene from a viewpoint within the scene, with the viewpoint being one of a plurality of viewpoints within the scene. When streaming first video data of a first panoramic video, and when starting to stream second video data of a second panoramic video, the streaming client may at least temporarily and simultaneously continue to stream at least part of the first video data by continuing to stream a part of the first video data which represents shared video content of the scene which is visible in the first panoramic video and in the second panoramic video, while additionally streaming second viewpoint-specific video data which represents viewpoint-specific video content of the scene.

Abstract: A method of processing content data is described comprising: receiving content data, preferably the content data representing video data, texture data for a 3D model, text or a 3D data defining a 3D model, to be processed by a rendering device, preferably an extended reality XR rendering device; receiving or determining adaptation information associated with the content data, the adaptation information including a target affect parameter value and one or more adaptation rules, an adaptation rule defining an adaptation process for adapting the content data or for adapting the processing of the content data to cause a change in the emotional state of a user of the rendering device; receiving or determining a measured affect value, wherein the measured affect value is determined based on sensor information of one or more sensors configured to measure an emotional state of a user of the rendering device, preferably the one or more sensors being part of the rendering device and/or wirelessly connected to the rende

Abstract: One aspect of this disclosure relates a video processing device comprising a processor for processing a manifest file for video streaming for a user. The manifest file comprises at least a plurality of positions defined for a scene that are associated with pre-rendered omnidirectional or volumetric video segments stored on a server system. The manifest file may also contain a plurality of resource locators for retrieving omnidirectional or volumetric video segments from the server system. Each resource locator may be associated with a position defined for the scene. The video processing device may be configured to associate a position of the user with a first position for the scene in the manifest file to retrieve a first omnidirectional or volumetric video segment associated with the first position using a first resource locator from the manifest file.
