description: "MPEG V3C (Visual Volumetric Video-based Coding) is the codec family for volumetric video, where each frame is a 3D capture of a real scene. It underpins V-PCC and MPEG Immersive Video, and is what makes XR content deliverable at practical bitrates."

# What is MPEG V3C immersive video?

The MPEG Visual Volumetric Video-based Coding (V3C) standard is a specialized codec designed for the efficient coding and streaming of volumetric video content. This standard is essential in handling the data-intensive nature of volumetric video, which is characterized by sequences of frames that each represent a 3D capture of real-world objects or scenes. V3C facilitates the practical delivery of this content by providing robust compression methods. Additionally, V3C is developed to integrate with other technologies like Video-based Point Cloud Compression (V-PCC) and MPEG Immersive Video (MIV) extensions, enhancing its capability to support the delivery of extended reality (XR) content through advanced immersive codecs and content creation pipelines, including those focused on 3D reconstruction and rendering.
