VR
This document defines common test conditions and software reference configurations to be used in video codec performance evaluation for 360° video. These 360° video test conditions are also recommended for use in technical contributions to the 6th JVET meetings.
The Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET) of ITU-T VCEG (Q6/16) and ISO/IEC MPEG (JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11) is studying the potential need to include 360-degree video coding technologies in the future video coding standard. The JVET has established a 360Lib software package that can perform projection format conversion between various projection formats as a standalone conversion tool, or in combination with encoding and decoding using HM or JEM reference software.

MPEG is aware of the immense interest of several industry segments in content, services and products based on Virtual Reality (VR) and believes that VR is a complex ecosystem. The initial technologies already deployed can begin to fulfill the very high commercial expectations on VR services and applications if standards-based interoperability for certain aspects around VR is required.
