SK Telecom will announce the introduction of “360 VR Live” which is a 360º live broadcast platform at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The platform is an end-to-end broadcast system that uses a 360º camera enabling users to produce and live stream UHD 360º VR video with low latency. With a frame size of 60 frames per second, the company claims that the size of the 360 VR video file is reduced by 35% without compromising the image quality. The platform uses binaural rendering technology whereby the 3D audio recognises the user’s accurate location and provides sounds consistent with the user’s location.
