QoE for Immersive Media: Opportunities and Challenges Ahead

On March 28, 2025, the Grupo de Tratamiento de Imágenes (GTI) successfully held the fourth seminar of the "Speaking in the Key of Science" series, an event that continues to establish itself as a benchmark in exploring the latest advancements in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Extended Reality (XR), and other emerging fields.

The seminar titled "QoE for Immersive Media: Opportunities and Challenges Ahead" was led by Dr. Sara Baldoni, professor at the University of Padua (Italy). During her presentation, Baldoni provided a detailed insight into the key factors shaping immersive experiences, with a special focus on multisensory stimuli, collaborative applications, and 3D content transmission.

Among the topics covered during the session, the following points stood out:
- Current limitations for integrating multisensory stimuli
- Challenges in transmitting omnidirectional and volumetric content
- The impact of transmitted information on users’ Quality of Experience (QoE) in collaborative VR applications
- Privacy risks and opportunities in network-based VR applications

This seminar was not only distinguished by the quality of the content presented but also by the interest and interaction it generated among attendees, demonstrating the growing impact of immersive technologies in research and the development of innovative solutions.
