Volumetric video represents a transformative advancement in multimedia, offering the ability to capture and render three-dimensional content for immersive and interactive experiences. As the demand for immersive web applications grows, the need for a robust platform to stream live volumetric video on the web becomes more critical. This paper extends previous work on web- based volumetric video streaming, presenting an updated prototype designed for compatibility with 5G networks and current web technologies. The platform enables real-time transmission and rendering of volumetric video using point cloud data in PLY format, which can be compressed with the Draco codec, streamed via WebSocket and HTTP/DASH protocols. To assess the platform's performance, an empirical study was conducted to evaluate the readiness of web browsers and devices to stream, decode, and render live volumetric video under various network conditions and transport protocols. Our study builds on previous findings by introducing additional devices and exploring the impact of different transport protocols, network conditions, and concurrency scenarios. The results highlight significant differences in device performance and offer valuable insights into the limitations and opportunities for the future of volumetric video streaming on the web. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the technical and practical considerations for deploying volumetric video applications, laying the foundation for further advancements in the field.
