4-D broadcasting with MPEG-V

Abstract

Advances in media technologies brought 3-D TV home and 4-D movies to your neighbour. We present a framework for 4-D broadcasting to bring 4-D entertainment home based on MPEG-V standard. A complete framework for 4-D entertainment from authoring of sensory effects to environment description and commanding rendering devices for the sensory effects can supported by MPEG-V and couple of other standards. Part 2 of MPEG-V provides tools for describing capabilities of the sensory devices and sensors, part 3 provides tools to describe sensory effects, and part 5 provides tools to actually interact with the sensory devices and sensors.
