LightDB: A DBMS for Virtual Reality Video
Summary: LightDB is a DBMS for VAMR video that models data as a six-D light field (spherical, continuous, nonuniform) to meet latency/throughput demands. Declarative queries map to executable plans; prototype shows up to fourfold throughput vs prior work. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
