Abstract

We present IMPS: Immersive Media Player System, a tightly synchronized 360ºmedia player that leverages Android VR headsets to deliver immersive educational experiences. Designed for deployment in classrooms, IMPS allows instructors to manage synchronized playback for up to 50 headsets using a tablet interface. The system’s synchronization algorithm ensures lockstep playback across devices within 10 ms, addressing audio and video desynchronization issues of previous systems. IMPS has been successfully deployed by the Act One non-profit to deliver VR content to Title I schools in Arizona and is also used at Arizona State University for synchronized playback of 360ºmedia in educational settings.
