Title
HTML5 MSE playback of MPEG 360 VR tiled streaming - JavaScript implementation of MPEG-OMAF viewport-dependent video profile with HEVC tiles.
Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) and 360-degree video streaming have gained significant attention in recent years. First standards have been published in order to avoid market fragmentation. For instance, 3GPP released its first VR specification to enable 360-degree video streaming over 5G networks which relies on several technologies specified in ISO/IEC 23090-2, also known as MPEG-OMAF. While some implementations of OMAF-compatible players have already been demonstrated at several trade shows, so far, no web browser-based implementations have been presented. In this demo paper we describe a browser-based JavaScript player implementation of the most advanced media profile of OMAF: HEVC-based viewport-dependent OMAF video profile, also known as tile-based streaming, with multi-resolution HEVC tiles. We also describe the applied workarounds for the implementation challenges we encountered with state-of-the-art HTML5 browsers. The presented implementation was tested in the Safari browser with support of HEVC video through the HTML5 Media Source Extensions API. In addition, the WebGL API was used for rendering, using region-wise packing metadata as defined in OMAF.
