As part of the TRANSMIXR work on the eXtended Reality Media Creation Environment, and the metrics and evaluation tasks, the Distributed and Interactive Systems (DIS) group from CWI presented three papers at the ACM Multimedia Conference 2024. In addition, Prof. Pablo Cesar, from CWI, keynoted the 2nd workshop on Methodologies for Multimedia with the talk “Instrumenting and Evaluating Human Centered Multimedia Systems”.
Research carried out by the Distributed and Interactive Systems (DIS) group from Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) has resulted in contributions to this year’s ACM Multimedia Conference (ACM MM 2024). ACM Multimedia is the worldwide premier conference and a key event to display scientific achievements and innovative industrial products in the multimedia field. It is the flagship of the ACM Special Interest Group on Multimedia (ACM SIGMM) which provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners in all aspects of multimedia computing, communication, storage, and applications.
This year, ACM MM was held in Melbourne, Australia from October 28 to November 1, 2024. Prof. Pablo Cesar served as Technical Program Co-Chair in the Organising Committee which this year has received the record number of over 4,300 main conference submissions. During the conference, Thomas Röggla presented the paper “Open-Sourcing VR2Gather: A Collaborative Social VR System for Adaptive Multi-Party Real Time Communication”, a video conferencing platform that enables XR experience” in the Open Source Competition track. The platform, at the core of TRANSMIXR, is a social XR system used in several of the use cases of the project. Moreover, Xuemei Zhou presented her research on quality assessment of point clouds with one paper in the main research track (“Deciphering Perceptual Quality in Colored Point Cloud: Prioritizing Geometry or Texture Distortion?”) and another one (“Visual-Saliency Guided Multi-modal Learning for No Reference Point Cloud Quality Assessment”) in the co-located 3rd Workshop on Quality of Experience in Visual Multimedia Applications.
