Assessment of Visual Quality and Simulator Sickness for Omnidirectional Videos

Ashutosh Singla received his M.Sc degree in Communications Engineering from RWTH Aachen in May 2015, with a master's thesis on HEVC video coding optimization (Prof. Jens Rainer Ohm). From March 2016 to September 2016, he worked in the Multimedia Signal Processing Group (MMSPG, Prof. Touradj Ebrahimi) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland, on a project for food image classification and recognition. Since September 2016, he has been working in the Audiovisual Technology Group at TU Ilmenau. In February 2022, he got his PhD in the field of Video Quality and Simulator Sickness Assessment for 360° videos under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alexander Raake.
