3D printers become available to the mass market and require interfaces to scene description. Within MPEG-V, a 3D printer is now part of the set of actuators as seen in N14252 Requirements for MPEG-V Version 4. There is currently indirect support only from one service provider printing 3D objects.
MPEG-H
MPEG-H will be the new umbrella for the High Efficiency Video Coding and the related Systems and Audio standards. The vision for MPEG-H was defined at the 99thmeeting in N12312 Context and Objectives of MPEG-H.
MPEG foresees the initial standards of MPEG-H to include video coding (HEVC), advanced 3D audio coding and MPEG Media Transport. The Definition of graphics and user interfaces will come later.
