Progressing Towards Full-Decentralisation — Announcing Our Partnership With IAGON
ImmVRse aims to become a leading VR content sharing platform over the next decade. In order to create a scalable solution, we have designed our server-side architecture on a hybrid model. Blockchain will be integrated in securing data on cloud storage, however, video data will be stored on a cloud platform that provides the framework for operating Ethereum-based distributed applications.
Currently, there are several concerns around ultra-high definition media encoding, which results in high cost and requires a suitable infrastructural capacity. We are striving to develop a blockchain-based decentralised community and smart contracts-based peer-to-peer job hiring process.
Without high-quality VR content, however, there is no value in creating such a platform. Therefore, one of our key focuses is to develop an exceptional hybrid-architecture that will allow the application to be distributed, whilst simultaneously processing VOD assets through a high-performance CDN.
Ultra-high definition and low latency are crucial to stream VR content, which can mitigate motion sickness in a VR environment. In our pilot research with Imperial School of Medicine in 2017, the team concluded that increased latency and poor content delivery may increase the likelihood of motion sickness. Therefore, the hybrid design will allow us to host high-quality data that facilitates faster media encoding, reduced latency and utilise accelerated CPU/GPU instances necessary to store, process and deliver VR content.
Currently only a limited number of platforms provide ultra-high-performance 4K media encoding with low latency and high-quality compression. With the introduction of 5G network and improved network connectivity, 4K VR VOD will be more accessible to users globally.
Although ImmVRse is currently being developed on a hybrid-architecture, the platform aims to progress towards full decentralisation through forming strategic partnerships. Our aim is to work alongside companies that can provide long-term scalable solution for increased efficiency in cloud performance, providing cloud-computation on blockchain grid.
Hence, ImmVRse has officially partnered with IAGON, a platform focused on the delivery of decentralised, cloud computing and artificial intelligence services. The partnership allows ImmVRse to become one of the first early adopter program of IAGON. Based in Norway, IAGON provides platform for harnessing the storage capacities over a decentralised blockchain grid. The long-term aim for IAGON is to revolutionise the cloud and web services market by offering a decentralised grid of storage and processing.
Project Lead at IAGON, Rose Marie said,
“In the spirit of decentralization, IAGON’s early adopter program brings benefits to all parties involved and we at IAGON are elated to have a chance to, not only have ImmVRse as one of the first entries to the IAGON adopter program, but to also garner honest and candid feedback about the IAGON platform.”
By combining the unused storage capacity in servers and personal computers along with their processing power, they aspire to create a super computer and super data centre capable of rivalling any cloud computing moguls.
Additionally, in order to advise on cloud-computation, scalability and improve product development life-cycle, The Director of Oracle (EMEA and APAC), Ani Fox Bochenkov has recently joined our advisory board.
Ani has substantial knowledge and expertise in the €2T digital infrastructure market. Focus and skills lies within cloud-enabled IoT, edge computing, Industry 4.0, Smart City, Digital Single Market, universal banking protocols and data compliance & privacy solutions.
