VRTogether

VR-Together will offer new ground-breaking virtual reality experiences based on social photorealistic immersive content. For this purpose, it will develop and assemble an end-to-end pipeline integrating state-of the-art technologies and off-the-shelf components. The challenge of VR-Together is to create photorealistic truly social virtual reality experiences in a cost-effective manner. Immersive media production and delivery through innovative capture, encoding, delivery and rendering technologies. The project will demonstrate the scalability of its approach for production and delivery of immersive content across 3 pilots. It will introduce new methods for social VR evaluation and quantitative platform benchmarking, for both live and interactive content production, thus providing production and delivery solutions with potentially significant commercial value.

Our team was tasked with: 1) Human capture and 3D reconstruction from multiple-sensor setups (incl. calibration), 2) Research on real-time 3D mesh compression and transmission.
