The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $145,209 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of Southern California (USC) for the project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CNS CORE: MEDIUM: FOUNDATIONS AND SCALABLE ALGORITHMS FOR PERSONALIZED AND COLLABORATIVE VIRTUAL REALITY OVER WIRELESS NETWORKS." The project aims to develop the theoretical foundations and implementation of a system to provide high-quality, scalable, and collaborative virtual reality (VR) experiences over wireless networks. Key research thrusts include optimizing personalized user experience, meeting stringent immersive service requirements, supporting smooth collaborative interaction, and integrating the research into a holistic system. The project will leverage machine learning, wireless networking, and mobile computing to enable immersive VR applications on commodity mobile devices. The award period runs from June 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, and the research findings will be integrated into undergraduate, graduate, and K-12 STEM education curricula.
