ImmersiaTV

Project Description

A new form of broadcast omnidirectional video, content production and delivery

Virtual reality and 360° video are used more and more in applications such as gaming and online video. The question is what these types of visualisation can mean for the broadcast sector? ImmersiaTV aims to revolutionize watching TV at home. It will assemble an end-to-end toolkit for the production and delivery of immersive TV content. This will result in a new audiovisual experience where the traditional TV set is combined with second screens, such as tablets or VR glasses, in a coherent way. ImmersiaTV will present its results in 3 demo’s including on-demand and live viewing.
