ReMA: Real-time 3D video streaming system for mobile devices

User´s multimedia interaction is facing a paradigm shift from 2D to 3D videos. Nonetheless, it is still difficult to watch 3D videos with a mobile device. With current technological barrier in wireless networking, it is hardly imagined that the timely transmission for a 3D video streaming could be feasible with the mobile device. In this paper, we propose ReMA, a novel 3D video distribution system based on a lightweight compression, a linkadaptive transmission scheme, and a network-side assistance for processing capability. ReMA consists of a 3D data transmitter, a receiver, and an infrastructure for generating and distributing 3D videos. We implemented the proposed system in a real testbed and conducted a thorough empirical evaluation study. Based on the empirical results, the proposed system presents a great promise in streaming 3D video in real-time to the mobile device.
