InterDigital and Concordia University's Intelligent Next Generation Networking and Multimedia (IN2GM) Lab announced a multi-year research collaboration focusing on AI-enabled end-to-end delivery of immersive media over 5G networks. The research will explore novel media delivery paradigms, prototype tools, and systems for efficient delivery of high-quality, six degrees of freedom (6DoF) volumetric immersive media content, adhering to standards set by IETF, MPEG, and 3GPP.
This gives InterDigital a formal university pipeline for researching AI-enabled immersive media transport over 5G, with student researchers contributing directly to prototype tools and evaluation. It also anchors the work in standards bodies that matter for streaming infrastructure: IETF, MPEG, and 3GPP. For the broader ecosystem, the focus on end-to-end packaging, ingest, delivery, and consumption signals that immersive video still needs systems work, not just better codecs. The next concrete signal to watch is which prototype tools or evaluation results come out of the Montréal collaboration.
