Amazon Sumerian lets you create and run virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and 3D applications quickly and easily without requiring any specialized programming or 3D graphics expertise. With Sumerian, you can build highly immersive and interactive scenes that run on popular hardware such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and iOS mobile devices (support for Android ARCore coming soon). For example, you can build a virtual classroom that lets you train new employees around the world, or you can build a virtual environment that enables people to tour a building remotely. Sumerian makes it easy to create all the building blocks needed to build highly immersive and interactive 3D experiences including adding objects (e.g. characters, furniture, and landscape), and designing, animating, and scripting environments. Sumerian does not require specialized expertise and you can design scenes directly from your browser.

Today we announced the general availability of AWS Elemental MediaConvert, a file-based video processing service that allows video providers with any size content library to easily and reliably transcode on-demand content for broadcast and multiscreen delivery. You can build workflows to generate high-quality video outputs in minutes instead of weeks or months. With access to a comprehensive set of advanced transcoding features, workflows that in the past could only have been implemented on-premises can now be built in the cloud. Now you can focus on delivering compelling media experiences without having to manage the complexity of building and operating broadcast-grade video processing infrastructure. AWS Elemental MediaConvert is easy to use with a pay-as-you-go pricing model. It offers a high degree of availability, reliability, and scalability along with tight integration with other AWS services.

Today we announced the general availability of AWS Elemental MediaStore, a video origination and storage service that offers the high performance, predictable low latency, and immediate consistency required for live and on-demand media combined with the security and durability of Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). The service provides an inexpensive method for simple pass-through content delivery with predictable pay-as-you-go pricing.

Today we announced the general availability of AWS Elemental MediaPackage, a video origination and just-in-time packaging service that allows video distributors to securely and reliably deliver streaming content at scale. The service offers just-in-time packaging for cost-effective video distribution using multiple delivery and content protection standards, and makes it easy to enrich audience experiences with time-shifted TV and other advanced features. With AWS Elemental MediaPackage, customers can reduce workflow complexity, increase origin resiliency, and better protect multiscreen content without the risk of under or over-provisioning infrastructure for a solution to delivery content across a growing ecosystem of connected devices and dynamic viewing experiences.

Today we announced the general availability of AWS Elemental MediaLive, a live video processing service that enables video providers to encode high-quality live video streams for broadcast television and multiscreen devices. It does all the heavy lifting behind the scenes for resource provisioning, service orchestration, scaling, healing, resiliency failover, monitoring, and reporting. With push-button deployment, customers can stand up live channels in minutes with resources that automatically scale up and down based on load and number of channels. To achieve the same result with on-premises solutions requires planning, procurement, installation, provisioning, configuration, setup, testing, and troubleshooting that can take weeks, months, or even years before going into production. The channel-based, pay-as-you-go service simplifies operational complexity, improves cost efficiency, and minimizes financial risk. AWS Elemental MediaLive enables customers to build flexible 24×7 live video workflows or deliver event-based live streams with full control over encoding parameters using a best-of-breed service with support for standard video players and CDNs.
