Volumetric video is an emerging form of media, which allows users to consume content unconstrained to a specific viewing angle or position. Visual Volumetric Video-based Coding (V3C) is a technology developed in the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), which provides tools for compressing volumetric video. Prior implementations and demonstrations of V3C-based content delivery have been focusing on pre-encoded content, utilizing technologies such as DASH for on-demand media delivery. In contrast to prior work, this paper presents coding techniques and architectural choices, which enable end-to-end real-time V3C encoding, streaming, decoding, and rendering. The presented system implements the discussed methods, demonstrates conversational low latency, utilizes standardized technologies, and runs on commercially available hardware.
