Avatar mobility and network condition-aware 3D game over wireless networks

In this work, we present an avatar mobility and network condition-aware 3D game over wireless networks. The proposed system is designed to pursue an effective tradeoff between 3D rendering quality and compressed image quality. By considering user-preferred networking cost (i.e., data transmission charges), 3D rendering level and image compression parameters are determined dynamically in order to enhance the quality of service for interactive 3D game. The system is implemented using VirtualGL and an online open-source 3D game, PlaneShift, and examined using a mobile device connected to LTE and WiFi networks.
