"The Prelude study aims to use human centred research and design to address the issue of delivering good target user understanding of complex issues around network latency - with particular emphasis on the impact this can have on end user quality of experience (QoE) for advanced highly interactive visual environments such as VR, AR, MR and 360 video (HIVEs). The typical 'user' targeted by this study will be implementers of HIVEs, managers of enterprises active in developing or sponsoring HIVEs and investors in the sector, ie those impacted by poor QoE delivered to ultimate end consumer.Purdue University (Y Charlie Hu 2017 ACM) has done detailed research to show that the QoE achievable for high quality VR applications on today's mobile hardware and wireless networks via local rendering or offloading is about 10X away from the acceptable QoE, yet waiting for future mobile hardware or next-generation wireless networks (e.g., 5G) is unlikely to help.OMM is developing a regression testing platform which permits developers of such applications to test them against a simulated delivery infrastructure based on actual measured network performance thereby identifying areas of QoE concern early in the development cycle and thus permitting early mitigation, reducing costs and risks. At the moment conceivable highly interactive visual environments far exceed the ability to deliver to untethered devices such as tablets and smartphones and the commercial risks are high due to this delivery and performance gap.Earlier studies and ongoing work have shown it to be hard to present this issue and the targeted solution we have developed to most potential users who might benefit. This study addresses this presentation / understanding gap."

“Prelude研究旨在利用以人为中心的研究和设计来解决目标用户对网络延迟周围复杂问题的良好理解问题，特别强调这可能对高级高度交互式视觉环境（如VR， AR， MR和360视频（hive））的最终用户体验质量（QoE）产生的影响。本研究针对的典型“用户”将是艾滋病毒的实施者、积极开发或赞助艾滋病毒的企业的管理人员和该部门的投资者，即受交付给最终终端消费者的质量质量差影响的人。普渡大学（Y Charlie Hu 2017 ACM）进行了详细的研究，表明在当今的移动硬件和无线网络上，通过本地渲染或卸载实现的高质量VR应用的QoE与可接受的QoE相差约10倍，但等待未来的移动硬件或下一代无线网络（例如5G）不太可能有所帮助。OMM正在开发一个回归测试平台，允许此类应用程序的开发人员根据实际测量的网络性能对模拟交付基础设施进行测试，从而在开发周期的早期确定质量评价关注的领域，从而允许早期缓解，降低成本和风险。目前，可想象的高交互性视觉环境远远超过了向平板电脑和智能手机等不受限制的设备传输的能力，由于这种传输和性能差距，商业风险很高。早期的研究和正在进行的工作表明，很难将这个问题和我们开发的有针对性的解决方案呈现给大多数可能受益的潜在用户。这项研究解决了这种表达/理解差距。”
