Immersive Multimedia Communication: State-of-the-Art on Extended Reality Streaming
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Extended reality (XR) is rapidly advancing and poised to revolutionize content creation and consumption. In XR, users integrate various sensory inputs to form a cohesive perception of the virtual environment. This survey reviews the state-of-the-art in XR streaming, focusing on multiple paradigms. To begin, we define XR and introduce various XR headsets along with their multimodal interaction methods to provide a foundational understanding. We then analyze XR traffic characteristics to highlight the unique data transmission requirements. We also explore factors that influence the quality of experience in XR systems, aiming to identify key elements for enhancing user satisfaction. Following this, we present visual attention-based optimization methods for XR streaming to improve efficiency and performance. Finally, we examine current applications and highlight challenges to provide insights into ongoing and future developments of XR.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
