IDEA to Demonstrate Next Generation ITMF Streaming
May 4, 2022 – 10:00am – 11:00am Pacific
In October 2021, IDEA presented its first demonstration of 3D streaming using the Immersive Media Technologies Format, ITMF. In that demo we revealed the possibilities of taking an ITMF file, extracting the scene description and assets, then streaming to a client from a network-based server. That demo can be viewed here.
The October demo showcased an early prototype of the 3D streaming platform, focusing on a small number of 3D objects streamed to a single client with attached display. Since then, engineers from IDEA members Charter Communications, OTOY, and CableLabs have worked together to improve the architecture and the pipeline for streaming 3D, and now have prepared a demonstration that takes 3D streaming to a new level.
The new demo, which takes place May 4th, 2022, will involve the streaming of hundreds of 3D objects in a complete 3D scene, creating a seamless 3D experience for the viewer. Now, the viewer will be able to watch and interact with longer form 3D content on multiple immersive displays.
10G will support a whole new realm of services and applications that improve the way we LIVE, WORK, LEARN and PLAY.

“Believe it or not the building blocks for holographic TV are emerging,” says Adrian Pennington in his article, “The Holodeck Emerges Into the Light,” published this month in IBC365. “Among them is a standard format for creating, processing and transmitting content which is being supported by IDEA (Immersive Digital Experiences Alliance),” a group including Light Field Labs, and other holographic developers such as Otoy and Looking Glass Factory, along with the cable network Charter and cable industry think tank CableLabs. Good summary of the work of IDEA and digs into Light Field Labs new SolidLight panels and the technology behind them.
