Researchers have developed GenStream, a novel framework for streaming human-centric media that significantly reduces bandwidth requirements. Instead of transmitting full video frames, GenStream sends skeletal keypoints, camera viewpoint parameters, and a static 3D background model. A generative model on the client side then reconstructs photorealistic figures and composites them into the scene, achieving over 99.9% bandwidth reduction compared to HEVC. While this shifts computational load to the client, it opens possibilities for advanced avatar synthesis and personalized viewing experiences. AI
