Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia) has announced that Northeastern University’s Institute for the Wireless Internet of Things (WIoT) has joined the Alliance as a Promoter member. AOMedia is a non-profit organisation formed to define and develop open, royalty-free media technologies and standards spanning video, audio, still images and immersive technologies.
WIoT is joining AOMedia’s Volumetric Visual Media (VVM) Working Group, which focuses on developing and standardising technologies to improve the storage, delivery and quality of VVM data. VVM is a 3D immersive technology that captures and represents objects or environments with depth and volume, enabling users to interact with digital content from multiple angles.
“We’re excited to be part of AOMedia, where we can help drive the growth of open, royalty-free media technologies while focusing on improving the online media experience. We look forward to partnering with AOMedia members to discover new paths for innovation across multiple sectors,” said Mallesham Dasari, WIoT assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering.
VVM is commonly used in augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) for a lifelike, holographic experience. VVM enhances realism and interactivity in gaming, filmmaking, animation, manufacturing, and cultural heritage applications.
“We are thrilled to welcome WIoT to AOMedia’s Volumetric Visual Media (VVM) Working Group,” said Shan Liu, the co-chair of AOMedia’s VVM Working Group. “Their expertise and innovative approach will be invaluable as we work together to develop and standardize the technologies that will drive the future of VVM. With WIoT’s participation, we are one step closer to optimizing the storage, delivery and overall quality of this immersive media, ultimately enhancing applications and user experiences across industries.”
