Computer scientists clear a path to stream 3D 'volumetric' video
SMRTR summary
Brown University computer scientists have developed PackUV, a new method that compresses massive 3D "volumetric" video into standard formats compatible with existing streaming platforms like Netflix and YouTube. Volumetric video lets viewers watch scenes from any angle, but a 30-minute clip can reach terabytes in size. PackUV converts the entire 4D scene into a streamable video file, while also improving object tracking across longer sequences up to 30 minutes.
