See the demonstration on Ateme Stand E76 | The Grand Hall, Olympia London | 13–14 May 2026

London, UK – May 2026 – Focal Point VR is pleased to announce that it will be joining Ateme at the Media Production & Technology Show 2026, taking place at The Grand Hall, Olympia London on 13–14 May.

Together, Focal Point VR and Ateme will showcase a production-ready end-to-end immersive livestream workflow designed for the next generation of live sports, music and entertainment experiences.

The demonstration brings together Focal Point VR’s ultra-high-resolution immersive capture, real-time processing and proprietary Segmented Fidelity Streaming technology with Ateme’s advanced encoding capability, including MV-HEVC delivery for Apple Vision Pro. The result is a live immersive video workflow designed to deliver exceptional stereoscopic clarity, depth and realism on the latest spatial computing and VR headsets.

Visitors to Ateme Stand E76 will be able to experience showcase content from sports and music on both Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest headsets.

Demonstrating Focal Point VR’s 2026 Platform

Focal Point VR’s 2026 platform has been developed to address one of the defining challenges in immersive live production: delivering extremely high-resolution stereoscopic video with the fidelity required for premium headset viewing, while remaining practical for real-world production and streaming workflows.

At the heart of the platform is Focal Point VR’s proprietary Segmented Fidelity Streaming technology. SFS uses an attention-weighted approach to optimise ultra-high-resolution VR180 and 360° video, preserving perceptual quality where it matters most while significantly reducing the bandwidth required for delivery.

At MPTS, Focal Point VR will be demonstrating the core elements of its end-to-end platform, from immersive capture and real-time video processing through to SFS optimisation, Ateme MV-HEVC encoding and headset playback. Visitors will be able to view recent sports and music content in headset, captured and livestreamed using this technology.

A Production-Ready Workflow for Live Immersive Experiences

Focal Point VR and Ateme have been working together to demonstrate how immersive video can move beyond proof-of-concept and into practical production workflows.

The MPTS demonstration builds on that collaboration, showing how the capture, processing, encoding and playback elements can come together as a complete solution for broadcasters, rights holders, venues and content owners looking to create premium live immersive experiences.

“This is an important moment for immersive livestreaming,” said Jonathan Newth, CEO of Focal Point VR. “The combination of Focal Point VR’s capture and Segmented Fidelity Streaming platform with Ateme’s MV-HEVC encoding capability allows us to demonstrate a complete, production-ready workflow for premium live immersive video. Sports and music audiences are increasingly looking for richer, more present experiences, and this platform is designed to bring them closer to the action with a level of clarity and realism that has not previously been practical in live workflows.”
