Abstract

360 degree video compression and streaming is one of the key components of Virtual Reality (VR) applications. In 360 video streaming, a user may freely navigate through the captured 3D environment by changing her desired viewing direction. Only a small portion of the entire 360 degree video is watched at any time. Streaming the entire 360 degree raw video is therefore unnecessary and bandwidthconsuming. One the other hand, only streaming the video in the predicted user's view direction will introduce streaming discontinuity whenever the the prediction is wrong. In this work, a two-tier 360 video streaming framework with prioritized buffer control is proposed to effectively accommodate the dynamics in both network bandwidth and viewing direction. Through simulations driven by real network bandwidth and viewing direction traces, we demonstrate that the proposed framework can significantly outperform the conventional 360 video streaming solutions.
