Happy New Year from us at the Audiovisual Technology Group at @TU_Ilmenau! We're wishing everyone a year filled with innovation, collaboration, and groundbreaking discoveries in the world of audiovisual tech! #QoE

#ThrowbackThursday to when we co-authored studies on communication between grandparents and grandchildren! Face-to-face & phone chats still lead the way, while AR and robot tech show potential despite usability challenges. Non-digital tools often deliver richer experiences.

@ieee_ism Dominik analyzed the impact of #framerate|s on perceived video quality using #SAMVIQ, showed that higher frame rates improved quality, and provided open-source test software to support HFR research. Find it here: Code:

Experience the shift from bustling cityscapes to serene nature with 77 precision-aligned speakers! 🎧🌿 Our new VR Lab at I3TC now offers ultra-realistic sound simulations, perfect for #VR/#AR research, hearing aid tests, and immersive gaming.

#ThrowbackThursday: How does mobile video QoE suffer from network issues? Our study revealed the impact of stalling events on YouTube, evaluated prediction power of stalling time, & explored challenges for QoE modeling & monitoring. 📱📊 #QoE Read:

In our latest paper, we investigated how video resolution and quality influence nonverbal behaviors in #videoconferencing. Higher resolution increased movements and gaze directed at the partner, while higher quality enhanced facial expression synchrony.

On today's #ThrowbackThursday we dive into a book chapter about #videoquality assessment in immersive media, focusing on subjective testing with humans and objective metrics. It highlights the unique challenges of omnidirectional video. #QoE

Dominik’s latest paper explores how #8K compares to #4K at various viewing distances. Findings reveal that 8K’s quality advantage fades beyond 2.6H, where most viewers prefer to sit, limiting perceptual benefits. Link: #QoE #HDR

Stephanie presented our work at @ieeeMMSP 2024 on how transmission delay affects nonverbal behavior in videoconferencing. We found that people inhibit body motions to create predictable patterns, compensating for delays. #IEEEMMSP Link: #QoE

RT @GTI_Dem3DTV: Madrid will host #QoMEX25 from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2! @GTI_Dem3DTV experts and leaders in Quality of Experience will be prese…

Last year, we explored how haptic feedback impacts spatial presence in #VR gardening. Findings show that haptic feedback can increase spatial presence and women rated presence & realism higher. Read: #ThrowbackThursday

#AI-generated images have come a long way! We analyzed realism and appeal of images from #DALLE, Midjourney, and Craiyon using 27 text prompts. Some produced realistic results, but it all depends on the approach and prompt. Read: #QoE #throwbackthursday

Today's #ThrowbackThursday paper is the 'Qualinet White Paper on Definitions of Quality of Experience' (#QoE). At its time, it acted as a agreed upon base to quantify subjective quality. Researchers from 21 entities were participating in that process.

Within the 6G NeXt project, we met with academic partners and companies at Schönhagen airfield to conduct #6G measurements on intelligent drones, including the specially developed “Manta-X.” We'll create a 3D model of the airfield using photogrammetry and develop a QoS/QoE model.

Alex and Felix visited @cwi_dis for a meeting of the Immersive Media Group (IMG, part of #VQEG), where experts presented and discussed results and test methods for #immersive communication systems, contributing to the ongoing @ITU|-T work item P.IXC.

Stephanie presented a paper at #IEEE #ROMAN2024 in which she investigated how varying levels of robot control influences the perceived presence of the person who is remotely located. Read the paper here: #QoE #science
