Cloud VR Scenario White Paper

Preface

Cloud VR enables rendering on the cloud, lowering requirements on VR terminals, and

facilitating user acceptance.

This white paper was developed under the guidance of the Chinese Ministry of Industry and

Information Technology (MIIT), and released jointly by the China Academy of Information

and Communications Technology (CAICT) and Huawei according to the annual work plan of

the Virtual Reality Promotion Committee. This white paper focuses on the present context and

the potential value of Cloud VR. It also discusses the development path of its scenarios, which

are divided into the following three phases: the recently cloudified phase, the mid-term

cloudified phase, and the long-term cloudified phase. This white paper defines 17 Cloud VR

application scenarios based on the existing industrial context. The value and application

services. Fast and stable networks allow the implementation of cloud-based VR service

content and content rendering, where display output and audio output are coded, compressed,

and transmitted to user terminals from the cloud.

Cloud VR can be applied to many scenarios, and has a lot of market potential. Its widespread

adoption will revolutionize people's lives and production methods. CAICT, Huawei iLab, and

Huawei C&SI Business Consulting Dept have divided the 17 Cloud VR scenarios into Cloud

VR 2C scenarios and Cloud VR 2B scenarios based on research and industry insights both

inside and outside China.

Cloud VR Scenario White Paper

The development of everything is a gradual process of progression, and Cloud VR application

Scenarios have already implemented wireless terminals, cloud-based content, and cloud-based

real-time rendering and computing. The industry is mature, with frequent usage and a large

user base. Various types of terminals are available on the market. Traditional content is

provided through a new experience, and new content, such as Cloud VR live broadcast and

videos, is also available, providing highly immersive experiences. Scenarios in this phase can

be regarded as an extension of video, and cultivate the VR habits of users.
