Qualinet and VQEG have an ambition to increase the collaboration between the organizations. As a pilot effort we are hereby proposing a joint Qualinet-VQEG team on Immersive Media (JQVIM). The actual collaboration will be between the Task Force: “Immersive Media Experiences (IMEx)” of Qualinet and the Working Group “Immersive Media Group (IMG) of VQEG.

Objectives:

• To uphold the liaison relation with VQEG, inform both QUALINET and VQEG on the activities in respective organization, and promote collaborations on other topics i.e. form new joint teams
• Start collecting/producing immersive media content and dataset, document tools used for that purpose (possibly contribute to VRIF, MPEG, etc. activities
• Start collecting papers providing initial ideas/proposals/limitations towards a methodology for QoE assessment of immersive media applications
• Take https://multimediacommunication.blogspot.co.at/2017/04/vr360-streaming-standardization-related.html as a basis for standards survey
