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:
- 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.
- there is no need to render the 360° video locally which requires expensive computing operations.
- save network bandwidth since only a part of the 360° video is sent to the client
- 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.
- 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.
