VR Video Conferencing over Named Data Networks
Liyang Zhang, Syed Obaid Amin, Cédric Westphal · 2017
We propose a VR video conferencing system over named data networks (NDN). The system is designed to support real-time, multi-party streaming and playback of 360 degree video on a web player. A centralized architecture is used, with a signaling server to coordinate multiple participants. To ensure real-time requirement, a protocol featuring prefetching is used for producer-consumer communication. Along with the native support of multicast in NDN, this design is expected to better support large amount of data streaming between multiple users.
