Abstract

Abstract: Thispaper addresses a novel virtual reality (VR) system that is based on the realworld in which we live. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end systemarchitecture and its element technologies for providing a 6-DOF VR space thatis based on the real world. The propose system is realizable with the help ofIoT infrastructure. We posit that the IoT environment is the main factor inovercoming the huddle of 6-DOF VR space. The proposed architecture especiallyconsiders commercialized smart--phone cameras and video-sharing websites and socialnetwork services (SNSs). In contrast to previous work on VR space service thatis based on the real world, we design a fully distributed architecture. Theproposed system can provide VR space with the movement of the watching user, inother words, 6 DOFs. This paper also includes a detailed survey of bothconventional and emerging studies by other researchers.
