ITU Journal (ICT Discoveries) – Special issue on The future of video and immersive media
In this issue
Our multimedia-rich communications experience is built on international standards that give innovators the confidence to invest in new applications and services. These standards are at play in almost all video we view, over any medium. Among all the types of data that travel through the internet and mobile networks everyday, video represents by far the largest portion of traffic – about 80% by some estimates, and growing exponentially. In this special issue we discuss insights into the state of the art in multimedia and consider emerging applications and new possibilities, with a deeper look from the perspectives of standards, technology, industry and societal impact throughout carefully selected collection of papers covering a wide range of timely topics.
