Beyond 2D Evaluation Framework

Evaluation framework for next-generation beyond-2D video experiences, providing tools for systematic quality assessment of immersive video formats including light fields, point clouds, and multi-view video plus depth.

The framework enables standardised benchmarking of encoding, streaming, and rendering pipelines for content that goes beyond traditional flat-screen delivery, feeding directly into 3GPP and MPEG standardisation of new immersive video formats.

Specifications referenced: ISO/IEC 23090-5 (Visual Volumetric Video-based Coding (V3C), referenced for evaluation), 3GPP TR 26.956 (Evaluation and Characterization of Beyond 2D Video Formats and Codecs), ISO/IEC 23000-19 (Common Media Application Format (CMAF), for delivery evaluation). For acronyms used here, see the Glossary.
