\section{Introduction}
|
|
In the previous chapter, we discussed the theoritical aspects of 3D streaming based on DASH\@.
|
|
We showed different ways of structuring and downloading content, and we evaluated the parameters.
|
|
In this chapter, we detail every aspect of the implementation of the DASH-3D client, from the way segments are downloaded to how they are rendered.
|
|
All DASH clients are built from the same basic bricks, as shown in Figure~\ref{d3i:dash-scheme}:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item the \emph{access client}, which is the part that deals with making requests and receiving responses;
|
|
\item the \emph{segment parser}, which decodes the data downloaded by the access client;
|
|
\item the \emph{control engine}, which analyses the bandwidth to dynamically adapt to it;
|
|
\item the \emph{media engine}, which renders the multimedia content to the screen and the user interface.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
In order to be able to do user study easily, we want our client to be as portable as possible, so we decided to implement it in JavaScript using WebGL for rendering.
|
|
That way, we can develop a desktop interface and adapting it for mobile devices, for example, will be painless.
