3. Network Enablers for Seamless HMD based VR Content Service
Final Report
“Network Enablers for Seamless HMD based VR Content Service” Study Group was approved by IEEE 802 EC at the end of November, 2018 plenary meeting in Bangkok
IEEE 802 EC asked the study group to do the followings:
Reach out to the rest of 802 WGs to increase the awareness of VR SG activities and goals
Study further and decide what outcomes the SG will produce

4. Network Enablers for Seamless HMD based VR Content Service
Final Report continued
VR SG reached out the following IEEE 802 Working Groups during January Wireless Interim in St. Louis
IEEE WNG, IEEE RTA TIG, IEEE TAG
VR SG reached out the following IEEE 802 Working Groups during March Plenary in Vancouver
IEEE NENDICA, IEEE WG, IEEE WG

5. Network Enablers for Seamless HMD based VR Content Service
Final Report continued
Outcome of Outreach
Positive Outcomes
Increased the awareness of VR SG goals
Developed some personal level discussion on the interest of VR SG
Began to understand the necessity of VR network requirements
Got some feedback on how VR SG can leverage the network technology developed by other IEEE 802 WGs
Two people outside of IEEE WG joined the VR SG to explore what they can contribute
Negative Outcomes
Did not receive much feedback on the white paper produced by VR IG
Did not see too many people coming to VR SG to work together

Future Plan
IEEE VR SG is officially ending its activities after Vienna Plenary
The participants of VR SG will continue their effort at IEEE TGbe and IEEE TAG
IEEE TAG – VR SG will support drafting a white paper on low latency applications
IEEE TGbe – VR SG will support presenting the use cases that need to be considered for the new MAC & PHY design
