UC- Cloud 360° Video Rendering

Extends

Description

The main idea of this use case is to render a 360° video in the cloud browser instead of local browser. This approach has many advantages:

  1. there is no need to stream the whole 360° video to the client. Only the view requested by the user will be streamed. This opens the door for high quality 360° video streaming on large screens like TVs.
  2. there is no need to render the 360° video locally which requires expensive computing operations.
  3. save network bandwidth since only a part of the 360° video is sent to the client
  4. users can use any device (Remote Control, Second Screen) to control the playback and the current view without the need for complex synchronisation logic since the application runs in a single page in the cloud browser.
  5. the current view can be sent to multiple clients but the video will be rendered once. this is relevant for collaborative 360° video experience where one user control the video and others can watch it.
