MPEG-4 LASeR - based thin client remote viewer

Nowadays, to implement a remote display for mobile thin clients is a hot research topic: specufying a high-performing compression algorithm for heterogeneous content (text, graphics, image, video, 3D, ...) and ensuring versatile and user-friendly interaction are two constraints that should be jointly fulfilled. This paper establishes the appropriateness of the LASeR (MPEG-4 Part 20) technologies for such an application. In this respect, a software architecture based on LASeR is first presented. Secondly, a study on the corresponding user visual experience is reported. Finally, the bandwidth consumption of this solution is assed and compared to its competitors, be they from the wired (VNC) or wireless (BiFS) frameworks.
