Adaptive Video Acceleration for Virtual Reality Content

“VR revenues are expected grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 73% over the next 5 years, however, in order to achieve this VR must provide users with a quality experience. Video is a bandwidth hog in the best of circumstances, VR video is a several magnitudes worse. VR video that has banding, artifacts, starts and stops, or worst of all, induces motion sickness as a result of the compression necessary to deliver it will quickly turn off VR users.”

Says Michael Goodman, Director Digital Media at Strategy Analytics.

Virtual Reality immersive videos and content generates up to 10 times higher bitrates, and this makes it almost impossible to stream on inconsistent and unreliable Wi-Fi or cellular networks. Giraffic AVA offers the best option to experience immersive VR content by improving the resolution up to 200% on network connections and by delivering a 300% longer viewing period with the best possible quality.

“In addition to smartphone-powered VR, we’re starting to see the industry shift towards wireless standalone headsets on the high-end devices. To view VR the way it’s intended, the experience must be uninterrupted, untethered and incredibly high resolution like UHD 4K content offers. With the VR extension of our AVA solution, we bridge this gap between the immersive app providers and the consumer’s devices worldwide.”

Says Yoel Zanger, CEO of Giraffic.
