    Abstract: A system, method, and/or instrumentality may be provided for coding a 360-degree video. A picture of the 360-degree video may be received. The picture may include one or more faces associated with one or more projection formats. A first projection format indication may be received that indicates a first projection format may be associated with a first face. A second projection format indication may be received that indicates a second projection format may be associated with a second face. Based on the first projection format, a first transform function associated with the first face may be determined. Based on the second projection format, a second transform function associated with the second face may be determined. At least one decoding process may be performed on the first face using the first transform function and/or at least one decoding process may be performed on the second face using the second transform function.

    Abstract: A coding unit having a size multiple of three in horizontal or vertical direction is coded through one of several embodiments. In one embodiment, for some block sizes, the coding unit is coded and decoded systematically through SKIP mode. In another embodiment, the coding units can be coded in SKIP mode or with a DC coefficient. In another embodiment, an asymmetric division of a common coding unit parent is performed and transform coefficients are factorized among at least two sub-blocks to encode a coding unit. In another embodiment, a separable two dimensional transform can be applied by applying a transform over the block in one direction, and using two one-dimensional transforms on sub-blocks in the other direction to code. Methods, apparatus, and signal embodiments are provided for encoding and decoding.

    Abstract: At least one embodiment relates to a method assigning a pixel value of an occupancy map either indicates that a depth value of at least one 3D sample of a point cloud frame projected along a same projection line is stored as a pixel value of at least one layer or equals a fixed-length codeword representing a depth value of at least one 3D sample projection along said projection line.

    Abstract: In example embodiments, a method includes obtaining a first measurement of at least a first physiological parameter of a user from a time before presentation of an information item to the user. The information item may be, for example, a notification, an advertisement, or an emergency alert, among other possibilities. A second measurement of the first physiological parameter is obtained from a time after a beginning of the presentation of the information item to the user (e.g. during the presentation). Based at least on a comparison between the first and second measurements, a determination is made of whether the user has perceived the information item. The determination may also be based on a corruption coefficient indicating an amount by which an activity of the user is likely to interfere with the first physiological parameter.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of a method may include tracking a distance between a local VR device and a remote VR device; selecting an experience-sharing mode from a plurality of experience-sharing modes based on the tracked distance; and providing a different degree of immersive user experience to a user at the local VR device depending on the selected experience-sharing mode, wherein as the distance between the local VR device and the remote VR device decreases, the experience-sharing mode changes and the degree of immersive user experience increases. Some embodiments of another method may include detecting a gesture made by a user; selecting an immersiveness mode from a plurality of immersiveness modes based on the detected gesture; and providing a degree of immersive user experience to a local VR device user depending on the selected immersiveness mode.
