Virtual Reality (VR) and 360-degree video are set to become part ofthe future social environment, enriching and enhancing the waywe share experiences and collaborate remotely. While Social VRapplications are getting more momentum, most services regardingSocial VR focus on animated avatars. In this demo, we present ourefforts towards Social VR services based on photo-realistic videorecordings. In this demo paper, we focus on two parts, the communicationbetween multiple people (max 3) and the integrationof new media formats to represent users as 3D point clouds. Weenhance a green screen (chroma key) like cut-out of the personwith depth data, allowing point cloud based rendering in the client. Further, the paper presents a user study with 54 people evaluatinga three-people communication use case and a technical analysisto move towards 3D representations of users. This demo consistsof two shared virtual environments to communicate and interactwith others, i.e. i) a 360-degree virtual space with users being representedas 2D video streams (with the background removed) andii) a 3D space with users being represented as point clouds (basedon color and depth video data). |
