Research and education networks in the Asia Pacific region collaborated to provide the ‘SuperSpeed’ network required to deliver an interactive live volumetric video performance between Sydney, Australia and Tokyo, Japan at SIGGRAPH Asia in December 2023. Volumetric video-based technology allowed the violinist in Tokyo and the audience in Sydney to co-create improvised music during the performance. The SuperSpeed research and education network connectivity was provided by AARNet, Australia’s Academic and Research Network, ARENA-PAC, Arterial Research and Educational Network in the Asia Pacific operated by the WIDE Project, and GOREX, The Guam Open Research and Education eXchange.
