<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">Yes, if we have a look “from a distance”, then the principle is quite similar to what is done with avatars at the Web3D Consortium.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">In the HAnim standard (which the Web3D Consortium is responsible for, too), we have also a possibility to transmit the major part of the data only once, when the avatar is loaded (added to the scene), and afterwards
 only the state is transmitted (low-bandwidth).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">However, the YouTube video you are referring to, is quite different from HAnim, if it gets to the details.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">Mainly, I guess those guys cannot provide a 3-dimensional (or even 4-dimensional) model of the virtual reality in question, which is advantageous in many cases.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I guess that this can only really be applied to a video conferences at the moment given the problems that they have with introduction of new/foreign objects to the stream.  But maybe in the future there is a balance
 between new i-frames and metadata.  Or maybe the combination of better compression and faster networks wins in the end.
