Demo: Streaming Video over 360 Degrees Visible Light Communication

Abstract

In this paper we present the demo of a 360 degrees visible light communication (VLC) transmitter built over the low-cost OpenVLC platform. We present how we can stream a video broadcasted from a VLC transmitter providing large angular coverage, and displaying it seamlessly in the receiver. We show how the setup is implemented and evaluate its performance. This work shows the feasibility of low-cost 360 degrees VLC transmitters complying with real-worldrequirements of distance, coverage angle, mobility, data rate and robustness against background light.
