Description du projet
Un cadre novateur conçu pour répondre aux difficultés des applications multimédias
Les développements technologiques bouleversent la façon dont nous vivons les environnements physiques et virtuels. La réalité virtuelle, la réalité augmentée et l’holographie, une sous-catégorie d’applications médias innovantes, jouent un rôle essentiel à cet égard. Elles se heurtent toutefois à de nombreux obstacles qui ont une incidence sur l’expérience de l’utilisateur. Pour y remédier, le projet CHARITY, financé par l’UE, entend développer un cadre qui tire parti, entre autres, d’une nouvelle architecture en nuage et d’une orchestration autonome du continuum informatique et réseau, afin de surmonter les difficultés et de satisfaire aux exigences de ces applications. Le cadre sera testé dans des cas d’utilisation ciblés sur des applications de médias avancées, ce qui aidera le projet à fournir un prototype fonctionnel validé.
Objectif
The impact of technology in the world's panorama is at an all-time high. Advanced media applications enabling immersive communication are becoming ubiquitous in our lives, and there is a global trend to adopt virtual solutions to support day-to-day business operations, social events, and general lifestyle. A subset of these innovative media applications includes Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Holography, but they do not come without their share of challenges and requirements. To enable a satisfactory user experience, the requirements for the computing platform and its underlying network can be considered extreme and far from what can be attainable today. Hence, we propose a Cloud for Holography and Cross Reality (CHARITY), which is a complete framework that attempts to overcome the challenges and meet the requirements of such applications. CHARITY leverages an innovative cloud architecture that exploits edge solutions, a computing and network continuum autonomous orchestration, application-driven interfacing, mechanisms for smart, adaptive and efficient resource management, strong community involvement, and overreaching compatibility with all infrastructure vendors. This integrated framework will be put into test in a broad diversity of use cases targeted at advanced media applications, such as holographic events, virtual reality training, and mixed reality entertainment. CHARITY expects to deliver a working prototype, validated by the most demanding applications, capable of being demonstrated at dissemination events and exploited by a large community of users and companies outside the consortium, paving the way to the mass adoption of more advanced media applications in the market.
