GStreamer Support for Meta Quest

GStreamer on Meta Quest Overview
RidgeRun has developed a GStreamer plug-in that enables 360-degree video display on Meta Quest VR devices. This is an Android plugin that initializes, builds, and reproduces GStreamer pipelines. It works in conjunction with the Unity Development Platform, which provides the surface for rendering the video in a 360-degree view, creating an immersive VR experience.
Low-Latency RTSP Streaming
The main motivation behind developing the gstPlayerPlugin was to create an efficient 360-degree video player capable of displaying video streams sent via the RTSP protocol with the lowest possible latency, aiming for real-time applications.
