Abstract
This paper introduces a new solution that facilitates the deployment and consumption of immersive and interactive media by ensuring optimal network delivery and media playback. We will address in this paper two main challenges a) the efficient streaming of high quality 360° video content using existing content delivery networks (CDNs) and without the need for additional bandwidth comparing to traditional video streaming and b) the playback of 360° content even on devices with limited processing resources and programmatic capabilities.
