Launched at CES 2017 to further the widespread availability of high quality audiovisual VR experiences for the benefit of consumers, VRIF today includes more than 40 member organizations. 的 initial release of the VRIF Guidelines focuses on the delivery ecosystem of 360° video with three degrees of freedom (3DOF) and incorporates: 

• Documentation of cross-industry interoperability points, based on ISO MPEG's Omnidirectional Media Format (OMAF)
• Best industry practices for production of VR360 content, with an emphasis on human factors such as motion sickness
• Security considerations for VR360 streaming, including user privacy and content protection.

Topics to be addressed in 2018 by VRIF include six degrees of freedom (6DOF), live virtual reality services and support for high dynamic range (HDR). Member companies are also encouraged to bring topics and suggestions to the various working groups for consideration.

"VRIF is helping the video industry to create and support a thriving VR ecosystem. This technology represents an extremely promising and powerful opportunity, and it is imperative that we work together to create a powerful experience for users out of the gate,” 基督教egele, Director of XR (Extended Reality) Product Development at Verizon. "Beyond ensuring that the entire video ecosystem can collaborate to deliver compelling VR experiences, we must work together to effectively protect that content and enable monetization. At the VRIF, we are focused on all these various challenges and opportunities."

"As virtual and augmented reality continue to evolve, the VRIF Guidelines serve two main purposes: first, to support end-to-end interoperability across the virtual reality ecosystem, 从生产到消费, 和第二, to ensure a high quality user experience,” Rob科龙, President of the 虚拟现实产业论坛. "As the industry moves towards standardized VR solutions, we are also cooperating closely with other industry organizations including MPEG, 3 gpp, DVB, VR Society and ITU to facilitate technology integration for VRIF member companies and other related partners."
