In most cases, rotating, panning, and zooming movements are required, and users are consequently forced to switch back and forth among several navigation modes, leading to interactions that are too complicated overall for a layperson. Navigation aids and smart widgets are required and subject to research efforts both in 3D companies (see \url{sketchfab.com}, \url{cl3ver.com} among others) and in academia, as reported below. diff --git a/src/state-of-the-art/3d-streaming.tex b/src/state-of-the-art/3d-streaming.tex index 95d2499..65ad84b 100644 --- a/src/state-of-the-art/3d-streaming.tex +++ b/src/state-of-the-art/3d-streaming.tex @@ -115,7 +115,7 @@ Once the set of objects that are likely to be accessed by the user is determined A simple approach is to retrieve the objects based on distance: the spatial distance from the user's virtual location and rotational distance from the user's view.

DASH-SRD (Spatial Relationship Description,~\citep{dash-srd}) is a feature that extends the DASH standard to allow streaming only a spatial subpart of a video to a device. It works by encoding a video at multiple resolutions, and tiling the highest resolutions as shown in Figure~\ref{sota:srd-png}. That way, a client can choose to download either the low resolution of the whole video or higher resolutions of a subpart of the video.
