Summary
The System for Enhanced Media Representation team (SEMR) is developing a Unity 3D based platform to demonstrate our technologies regarding Multi-Users Quality of Experience (QoE) for eXtended Reality (XR) applications and test new functionalities.
eXtended Reality (XR) is a general term encapsulating augmented, mixed and virtual reality (AR, MR and VR), with a strong emphasis on immersion and interactions between virtual and real world.
Multi-Users experiences provide a shared environment for each participant. They rely on network communication to synchronize data and offer inter user interactivity.
Quality of Experience (QoE) refers to the subjective perception of quality for a given experience. In the context of a network based XR application, this can be influenced by interactivity level, response time, spatial stability, graphics quality, etc. Maintaining high level of QoE even during network perturbations is an active field of study.
During this 6-month internship, you will take part in the design, development and implementation of new advance features for the demonstrator in the fields of XR, Multi-Users and QoE.
You will work in collaboration with experts from the InterDigital Video Lab located in Rennes, France.
