This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, with a total funding amount of $275,000.00, supports a collaborative research project exploring immersive video streaming technology. The project aims to revolutionize the way people experience 3D environments by developing an advanced system that leverages neural radiance fields, computer vision, computer graphics, and machine learning to enable smooth, detailed, and fast 3D video streaming, even over current internet connections. The key focus areas include improving resiliency, optimizing bandwidth, and reducing latency. The research, conducted by George Mason University and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, will integrate these innovations into a unified framework called NEUVOL, which will be evaluated on diverse hardware and real-world network conditions. The project's broader impacts include enhancing immersive applications in fields such as remote training, collaborative design, and medical diagnostics, as well as engaging undergraduate researchers and promoting public awareness of immersive technologies.
