ENVISION: QoE-Driven Adaptive 3D-Video Streaming for Wireless Networks

One of the major concerns for the wide adoption of 3D/omnidirectional video is the ability to provide satisfying Quality of Experience (QoE) levels to the users, notably when the video is transmitted over networks with limited bandwidth and variable channel conditions. Therefore, the development of accurate methods to assess the 3D/omnidirectional video quality, as well as techniques to ensure an ...

Quantum Computing: a new tool to investigate elementary particles

Quantum computing explores the laws of Quantum Physics, to process a new type of bits, quantum bits – or, for short, qubits –, which may be in the state zero and one at the same time. This surprising and counter-intuitive property opens the door to solving extremely complex computational problems much faster. Problems that a classic computer would take many millions of years to solve can be ...
