IDEA brings together the multimedia, movie, television, broadcast, mobile, cable, manufacturing, and interactive gaming ecosystems, comprising content creators, content distributors, consumer electronics manufacturers, professional equipment manufacturers and technology companies. Working toward a common goal to develop a family of royalty-free technical specifications that define interoperable interfaces and exchange formats to support the end-to-end conveyance of immersive volumetric and/or light field media. Our purpose is to gather marketplace and technical requirements to define and support the immersive media specifications, to facilitate interoperability testing and demonstration of immersive technologies in order to gain feedback for the immersive media specifications and support from stakeholders. While continuing to produce educational events and materials to maximize the understanding of immersive media for both technical and non-technical practitioners and to provide a forum for the exchange of information.
