360° Video Viewing Dataset in Head-Mounted Virtual Reality
نویسندگان
چکیده
360° videos and Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) are geing increasingly popular. However, streaming 360° videos to HMDs is challenging. is is because only video content in viewers’ Fieldof-Views (FoVs) is rendered, and thus sending complete 360° videos wastes resources, including network bandwidth, storage space, and processing power. Optimizing the 360° video streaming to HMDs is, however, highly data and viewer dependent, and thus dictates real datasets. However, to our best knowledge, such datasets are not available in the literature. In this paper, we present our datasets of both content data (such as image saliency maps and motion maps derived from 360° videos) and sensor data (such as viewer head positions and orientations derived from HMD sensors). We put extra eorts to align the content and sensor data using the timestamps in the raw log les. e resulting datasets can be used by researchers, engineers, and hobbyists to either optimize existing 360° video streaming applications (like rate-distortion optimization) and novel applications (like crowd-driven cameramovements). We believe that our dataset will stimulate more research activities along this exciting new research direction.

360-Degree Video Head Movement Dataset
While Virtual Reality applications are increasingly attracting the attention of developers and business analysts, the behaviour of users watching 360-degree (i.e. omnidirectional) videos has not been thoroughly studied yet. This paper introduces a dataset of head movements of users watching 360-degree videos on a Head-Mounted Display (HMD). The dataset includes data collected from 59 users watc...
متن کاملNavigable videos for presenting scientific data on head-mounted displays
Immersive, stereoscopic viewing enables scientists to better analyze the spatial structures of visualized physical phenomena. However, their findings cannot be properly presented in traditional media, which lack these core attributes. Creating a presentation tool that captures this environment poses unique challenges, namely related to poor viewing accessibility. Immersive scientific renderings...

متن کاملGo beyond the screen: the evolution and design pressures of viewership, from Hollywood to Silicon Valley
This paper investigates the possible disappearance of the screen with the evolution and design pressures of viewership in mind. It begins with the complexities of the screen. This includes the aspect ratio wars of cinema’s widescreen and the square television standard which changed in favour of the cinematic. This leads onto the constraints and imposed aspects formed from the additional orienta...
متن کاملAnalysis of 360° Video Viewing Behaviours
In recent years there has been a significant interest in Virtual Reality applications, including 360° videos. 360° video streaming via the network typically consumes a lot of bandwidth due to the file size of these kind of videos being up to 6 times larger than traditional videos. Due to the nature of 360° videos, a user only utilizes about 20 % of the transmitted data; that is, the part of the...
