The invention relates to a method for generating an interactive virtual
reality with a network service using interactive media-streaming
technology comprising the steps of establishing an action stream session
comprising connection handling, quality of service handling, adapting the
network environment by demanding network resources and control
information, establishing media-streaming path from the service to the
client and a user interaction control path in the reverse direction,
controlling the network with respect to required quality of service,
continuously, generating and transmitting individual media streams to the
client (ASC) by embedding interaction into a virtual reality, and
extracting and encoding a media stream at the service using a virtual
reality description compressed motion picture stream, encoding and
transmitting the user's interaction to the service, as well as de-coding
and playing the individual media data stream at the client side. Further
it relates to a Action Streaming Service, Action Streaming Client (ASC),
Action Streaming Server (ASS), Action Streaming System, Action Stream,
Action Streaming Session, Action Streaming Protocol, and Computer
Software Products for generating an interactive virtual reality.
