The goal of this conference is to provide an international forum for presenting recent research results on multimedia for mobile devices, and to bring together experts from both academia and industry for a fruitful exchange of ideas and discussion on future challenges. The authors are encouraged to submit work-in-progress papers as well as updates on previously reported systems. Outstanding papers may be recommended for the publication in the Journal Electronic Imaging or the Journal of Imaging Science and Technology.

Holostream is a novel platform which enables high-quality 3D video communication on mobile devices (e.g., iPhones, iPads) using existing standard wireless networks. The major contributions are: (1) a novel high-quality 3D video compression method that drastically reduces both 3D geometry and color texture data sizes in order to transmit them within the bandwidths provided by existing wireless networks; (2) a novel pipeline for 3D video recording, encoding, compression, decompression, visualization and interaction; and (3) a demonstration system which successfully delivered video-rate, photorealistic 3D video content through a standard wireless network to mobile devices. The novel platform improves the quality and expands upon the capabilities of popular applications already utilizing real-time 3D data delivery, such as teleconferencing and telepresence. This technology could also enable emerging applications which may require highresolution, high-accuracy 3D video data delivery, such as remote robotic surgery and telemedicine.
