scope:

The multiview video (MVV) service is a video service that obtains video streams from different perspectives from multiple cameras, allowing users to view video from various aspects by selecting one of multiple viewpoints. Compared with single-view video, this service can provide users with a better sense of on-site participation. Due to the realization of large-capacity access networks represented by 5G, MVV services have become popular. Compared with previous single-view video services, the MVV service puts forward a new set of requirements for QoE assessment. This Supplement discusses MVV QoE in 5G networks.

This Supplement categorizes and summarizes the factors that affect user-perceived experience of MVV service, with the intention to help identify methodologies for assessing MVV quality. Considering the factors affecting MVV QoE, a suggested scheme for MVV QoE assessment is proposed.
