Abstract: Embodiments herein provide mechanisms for viewport dependent adaptive streaming of point cloud content. For example, a user equipment (UE) may receive a media presentation description (MPD) for point cloud content in a dynamic adaptive streaming over hypertext transfer protocol (DASH) format. The MPD may include viewport information for a plurality of recommended viewports and indicate individual adaptation sets of the point cloud content that are associated with the respective recommended viewports. The UE may select a first viewport from the plurality of recommended viewports (e.g., based on viewport data that indicates a current viewport of the user and/or a user-selected viewport). The UE may request one or more representations of a first adaptation set, of the adaptation sets, that corresponds to the first viewport. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Various embodiments herein provide adaptive streaming mechanisms for distribution of point cloud content. The point cloud content may include immersive media content in a dynamic adaptive streaming over hypertext transfer protocol (DASH) format. Various embodiments provide DASH-based mechanisms to support viewport indication during streaming of volumetric point cloud content. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Apparatus, system, and method for rendering an immersive virtual reality environment of an event. For example, one embodiment of a system comprises: a video decoder to decode video data captured from a plurality of different cameras at an event to generate decoded video, the decoded video comprising a plurality of video images captured from each of the plurality of different cameras; image image recognition hardware logic to performing image recognition on at least a portion of the video to identify objects within the plurality of video images; a metadata generator to associate metadata with one or more of the objects; a point cloud data generator to generate point cloud data based on the decoded video, the point cloud data usable to render an immersive virtual reality (VR) environment for the event; and a network interface to transmit the point cloud data or VR data derived from the point cloud data to a client device.
