Abstract
We present a framework that allows for simulating a cloud gaming architecture with any DirectX-based video game. The gamer’s screen is captured and compressed as a video stream using the VP8 codec and sent over the network using UDP. We use this framework to evaluate the influence of frame-rate and encoding bit-rate on the Quality of Experience, as perceived by a panel of human test subjects.
