Video technology
Wireless video streaming of the future
With virtual reality video, users can explore an environment without being physically present. The immersive viewing experience offered by virtual reality is limited, however, because users cannot move forward or backward freely: they can essentially only ‘look around’ by rotating their head. (Users wear a virtual reality helmet that projects the environment onto their eyes.) This limitation is overcome in volumetric video, also known as hologram video, offering users six degrees of freedom (free forward/backward, up/down, and left/right free motion).
