- 5. “Responsive VR” - Headset optional • No need to wait for HMDs to become mainstream • Start delivering great 360/VR content now! • Scale well for all form factors & inputs • Billions of phones/tablets out there with sensors/gyroscopes • Other interesting input options - webcams, hand trackers (Minority Report style)
- 6. MetaCDN/videojs-vr fork • fork of slawrence/videojs-vr (unmaintained) • Leverage new best practice drop-ins for “Responsive VR”: • borismus/webvr-polyfill • borismus/webvr-boilerplate • VRControl/VREffect from mrdoob/three.js • Play back on desktop & mobile (Android/iOS) • WebVR capable browsers can now ‘cast’ to Rift
- 8. MetaCDN focus with VR/360 • Our partners handle capture/production • We do ingest, transcode/transmux, delivery • We provide branded 360/VR players/apps that are embeddable across multiple channels (web/mobile/FB/twitter/etc) • Delivery over web with WebVR / WebGL • Working with efficient new formats - VP9/H265 to handle ballooning bitrate/frame size • Still very much WIP: tech/browser still maturing
