Why Standards and AR?

A good standard

• Addresses widespread need

• Accelerates (reduces barrier for) innovation

A valuable standard

• Is consistently and widely implemented in target platform(s)

• With few exceptions, becomes “invisible” (do people think about 802?)

• Opens market opportunities for adopters, regardless of their size

Having AR standards will allow for widespread market adoption and implementation

P3333.1-- quality assessment of three-dimensional (3D) contents based on psychophysical studies

1636--family of standards that defines software interfaces for standard maintenance information collection and analysis

1224.2-- directory services API

802.1– high-level interfaces (network communications with time stamp)

1588-- precision clock synchronization protocol for networked measurement and control systems

IEEE P1907.1 Network-Adaptive Quality of Experience (QoE) Management Scheme for

Real-Time Mobile Video Communications

– End-to-end QoE: Standardized human visual perception-based metrics for real-time video

– Network-adaptive video encoding and decoding algorithms

– Real-time feedback control mechanisms for end-to-end video QoE

The purpose of this standard is to enable network operators, application developers, service/content providers, and end-users to develop, deploy and utilize collaborative services that employ real-time 2-way and multi-party video connectivity within any mobile browser, application, game, device, or service platform

AR is one of the “collaborative services” one might imagine using real time bidirectional video because the video from the user camera is often sent into a cloud service for analysis and recognition of salient attributes, and because there can be video sent to mobile device as an asset that overlays the physical world view

IEEE 2200

High Quality Mobile Experience

– P2200 is an IEEE working group chartered to enable delivery of high-quality content through the standardization of time-shifted caching to mobile devices

Purpose:

– To improve user experience in the delivering of mobile content

– To relieve congestion on the wireless networks caused by streaming

Approved as an IEEE standard

Working on a revision to

– Support more Device Types

• Intermediate (Storage) Devices

• IoT Devices

– Simplify APIs (eliminate WebIDL definitions)

– Enhance ability to uniquely identify networks/IoT devices

IEEE P3333.2

This standard will establish the minimum requirements for enabling portability and consistent display of 3-D medical images across dedicated 3D display equipment, computers, mobile smart pads and smart phones.

Includes standardization of volume image rendering (texture), collaboration of fragmented images and 3D models, data storage, data compression, data transport, motion simulation, 3D platforms, and 3D model management systems

Describes a set of parameters and other guidance for manufacturers of graphic display devices to enable 3-D images to be consistently displayed across a variety of imaging devices

The focus on medical data is good as there are many emerging AR use cases in medical

– The real impact is going to be the standard’s ability to describe the human beings in the world in a consistent manner.

Touches upon data transmission from the medical imaging device that could be a device for quantified self
