360-Degree Video Streaming Prototype and Experimentation

We will develop fully-functional 360 video streaming prototypes and conduct experiments with real users in controlled and real network environments to validate and improve the proposed designs.

Done:

1. A testbed was developed. The live demo can run on a Chrome browser from a computer or Android device.
2. A subjective study of viewer navigation behaviors when watching 360-degree videos on computers.
