Based on the characteristics of ice and snow sports, this project focuses on studying VR/360 program shooting, content generation, efficient encoding and decoding of 8K video stream, adaptive transmission and interactive VR presentation and other key technologies, thus developing an interactive multi-dimensional game watching experience system that can be applied to cable television network, telecom network, 5G network, Internet and other platforms. This project not only contributes to the continuous improvement of sports science and technology innovation ability, but also has great significance in promoting China's independent Ultra HD and virtual reality technology and industrial development.
