Apple Patents a system that Captures & Processes Motion Information in a 3D Point Cloud for both MR Headsets & Vehicles
Last month the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Apple that relates to compression and decompression of three-dimensional volumetric content, such as point clouds, immersive video, etc. and generating metadata that enables viewport adaptive streaming and/or rendering of portions of the three-dimensional volumetric content. Apple's patent will be more appreciated by VR developers and engineers.
