New Releases! - Public Release V3C Immersive Platform with MPEG Haptics

We are happy to announce the public release of the V3C Immersive Platform integrating:

• support for MPEG Haptics as defined in ISO/IEC 23090-31 and carriage of haptics data as defined in ISO/IEC 23090-32:

• Both .hjif and .hmpg file formats

• Support for vibrations with time, duration and intensity.

• Synchronized with the video.

• Modularization of the networking interface:

  • Plug-in for MPEG DASH

  • Ability to add plug-ins for WebRTC, RTP, etc.

This milestone comes alongside the public release of the three repositories that form the project:

• rt-v3c-unity-player

• rt-v3c-decoder-plugin

• rt-v3c-content

Note that beside MPEG Haptics, the V3C Immersive Platform supports:

• V3C decoder and renderer of V-PCC bitstream

• V3C MIV (MPI) bitstream (23090-12)

• local playback on Windows and Android

• V3C MIV (MVD) bitstream (23090-12)

• Carriage of V3C data (23090-10)
