An apparatus for providing immersive media content to a plurality of receivers is described. The apparatus obtains for a representation of the immersive media content a plurality of tiles, the plurality of tiles covering some or all of the representation, and, for some or all of the plurality receivers, transmits to each receiver one or more of the tiles, the one or more tiles covering at least a viewport associated with the respective receiver.

Immersive viewport dependent multiparty video communication

An apparatus for presenting immersive media content is described. The apparatus obtains from a sender video data representing immersive content for a certain viewing direction and/or for a certain viewpoint, and displays the video data representing the immersive content for the certain viewing direction and/or for the certain viewpoint.

Immersive media content presentation and interactive 360° video communication

An apparatus may be configured to: receive, from a first user equipment, at least one real-time transport protocol header extension configured to handle at least one protocol data unit, wherein the at least one real-time transport protocol header extension comprises, at least, one or more application controlled bits; determine whether the one or more application controlled bits are valid; and set values for one or more network controlled bits of the at least one real-time transport protocol header extension based, at least partially, on a determination of whether the one or more application controlled bits are valid, wherein the one or more application controlled bits comprise bits that do not overlap with the one or more network controlled bits.

A method of augmenting a view of a real-world environment with a view of a volumetric video object on a user device is disclosed. The method includes determining a current pose information (CPI) indicating a current pose of the view of the real-world environment and a desired pose of the volumetric video object in the real-world environment. The method further includes sending the CPI to a remote server. The method further includes receiving a rendered view of the volumetric video object that has been rendered in accordance with the CPI from the remote server. The method also includes augmenting the view of the real-world environment by at least mapping the rendered view of the volumetric video object onto a planar mapping surface arranged according to the desired position of the volumetric video object.

For transmitting a panorama video having a resolution higher than a decoder can decode, at a transmitter side, encoded data coding different (groups of) spatial segments of a video picture of a video stream are packetized into separate substreams, to obtain a group of separate substreams. At a receiver side, from the group of separate substreams a proper subset of the separate substreams is extracted and combined to a data stream containing encoded data coding respectively a proper subset of the spatial segments or groups of subsequent spatial segments of the video picture of the video stream. Thus, a decoder may decode only a subregion of the video picture of the video stream, the subregion being defined by the spatial segments or groups of spatial segments coded in the encoded data contained in the data stream.
