NTT DOCOMO, INC. announced today that it has developed what is believed to be the world's first 8K virtual reality (VR) live video streaming and viewing system for showing live events in 360 degrees 8K VR video. A head-mounted viewing system creates highly realistic VR experiences for enjoying music and sporting events that allow viewers to feel as if they are actually at the venue.

The heavy demands of processing 4 x 4K video for real-time stitching and compression into 360 degrees 8K video is difficult to achieve with software. DOCOMO's solution was to use a field programmable gate array (FPGA) for extra-fast processing and an algorithm for high-density mounting (maximizes FPGA processing) at 30 frames per second (fps).

Visbit’s 8K VR Player, Impressive High Quality Video To Vive Focus VR Headset

Visbit’s 8K VR Player Brings Impressive High Video Quality To Vive Focus VR Headset

Tom’shardware reported earlier that Visbit’s technology is ready to release ‘Visbit View-Optimized Steaming’ (VVOS) technology for the all now. Visbit rolled out an application on the Viveport from HTC’s Vive VR HMD. Visbit revealed the Visbit View-Optimized Steaming (VVOS) technology, that enables “near zero-latency” streaming of 360-degree video at 4K and higher resolutions. Earlier in 2017 VVOS technology showed that it is capable of streaming latency-free 12K VR video over a WiFi connection.

“We know immersive video is a very important content type on mobile-based VR platforms,” said Alvin Wang Graylin, HTC China President of VR.

“Designed with 3K resolution and 75Hz refresh rate AMOLED screen, the Vive Focus standalone enables viewing of 8K resolution and is the perfect HMD for experiencing high-resolution VR videos. The Visbit 8K VR Player enables premium quality VR videos be played on VIVE FOCUS. We are glad to partner with Visbit to bring VIVE FOCUS users a significantly upgraded VR video experience.” Alvin Wang Graylin, HTC China President of VR.

Visbit’s technology for 8K VR Player supports the stereoscopic 360-degree videos at up to 8K resolutions with spatial audio. Visbit said that the video player can access streaming content over an active internet connection, or you can download videos in advance and play the content locally from the headset.

“The VR video experience to date suffered from poor resolution and unsmooth playing problems. This situation hasn’t been improved much, even after 4K has become more commonly supported,” said Elaine Lu, Visbit co-founder, and COO.

“Meanwhile, content creators who have been creating 8K premium quality 360 VR videos couldn’t make their content stand out because nobody was able to see the difference between 4K and 8K VR videos. So, we applied our unique VVOS technology to develop this player and enable playing of 8K VR videos with or without streaming.” Elaine Lu, Visbit co-founder, and COO.

You can find The Visbit 8K VR Player on the Viveport Vive Focus store for free in limited time. The Vive Focus is only available in China though. Visbit said that the Visbit 8K VR Player would “gradually support other standalone and mobile VR headsets,” So north America availability will happen soon. The Visbit 8K VR Player supports 8K but there isn’t a lot of 8K VR content available now. Visbit is also encouraging 6K and higher contents to be made and shared by creators and is offering to host the videos for free. For more information, contact Visbit about a partnership opportunity.
