Spherical & Gestures Media Archive – 360° Quality Study.
Measuring what truly matters in immersive 360° video - quality, comprehension, and inclusion.
Login to access repositoryThe SIGMA360 project team has completed its first multi-day field recording of 360° video sequences in Istria. The collected material will be used to prepare standardized test sequences for future subjective quality assessment studies within the project.
Read moreThe SIGMA360 project team has completed the development of the project’s web repository application, which will be used to host 360° video materials and provide public download links for test video content, subjective quality ratings, and related research data. The repository is currently prepared as a technical platform, while video materials will be added after the recording and processing activities begin.
Read moreAs part of the SIGMA360 project activities, the project team has prepared a curriculum proposal for a new graduate-level elective course titled Quality of Service Analysis. The course is designed for students of the Information and Communication Traffic programme and focuses on the analysis of service quality, user experience, multimedia services, and modern communication networks.
Read moreSIGMA360 explores how users perceive, assess, and interact with immersive 360° video, with a strong focus on quality, accessibility, and reproducible research.
The project combines subjective quality studies, sign-language comprehensibility assessment, and a structured media repository designed to support future research in immersive media.
Explore targetsSubjective assessment of immersive video quality and user experience.
Evaluation of sign-language comprehensibility in immersive media scenarios.
Structured archive for video content, metadata, quality ratings, and research data.
Measurable outcomes SIGMA360 will deliver through open science, inclusive evaluation, and reproducible engineering.

We will publish the project’s findings in high-quality open-access journals and leading international conferences, ensuring visibility, reproducibility, and meaningful comparison across the research community.
Peer-reviewed dissemination makes the dataset, protocols, and models citable and comparable - accelerating progress in immersive VQA.
SIGMA360 will release the dataset and provide open web access to the repository, complemented by public VR demo events that showcase results and support adoption across academia, industry, and education.
Open access enables reuse, benchmarking, and direct application in streaming, XR production, and assistive technology development.
We will curate 360° clips with complete metadata and collect large-scale subjective ratings, including a dedicated sign-language comprehensibility track to support inclusive immersive services.
A content-rich dataset with MOS/CS labels allows robust training and testing of immersive VQA models under identical conditions.
SIGMA360 will deliver objective quality prediction models trained on the joint MOS/CS dataset and evaluated on unseen scenes, targeting reliable performance suitable for engineering workflows.
Accurate reference-free prediction supports adaptive streaming and network planning without costly new subjective tests.
The project invests in training and international exchange while translating results into practical guidance and teaching content, ensuring long-term value for researchers, practitioners, and students.
These outputs help turn research into practice - supporting inclusive XR services and modern teaching in multimedia quality engineering.
A reproducible, standards-aligned workflow that connects capture, controlled impairments, subjective evaluation, model validation, and open release in one consistent framework.
Designed for reproducibility, fair benchmarking, and accessibility-aware immersive media engineering.
The SIGMA360 team combines video engineering, human-factor testing, ML modeling, and sign-language expertise.
