Immersive media innovations showcase Nokia research at IBC 2026

At IBC 2026, Nokia demonstrated a range of multimedia innovations that attracted strong interest from visitors throughout the event. Highlights included a Dynamic Gaussian Splat Coding and Streaming demonstration, which allowed participants to experience photorealistic 3D video from different viewpoints, as well as an XR Audio Experience where sound adapted naturally to users' movements.

Nokia also showcased its work in Versatile Video Coding (VVC/H.266) and AI-based video enhancement. These technologies help deliver high-quality video while reducing bandwidth and latency requirements, with AI enhancing image quality after decoding without increasing bitrate.

Together, these innovations demonstrate how immersive experiences, efficient compression technologies, and standards-based delivery can support scalable multimedia services and applications. They also highlight the value of Nokia's long-term investments in multimedia research and standardization.
