Vladyslav Zakharchenko is a Principal Research Scientist based in the San Francisco Bay Area with nine years of industry experience driving next-generation video and immersive-media compression standards. He has led 3D graphics coding and point-cloud platforms for international standards bodies at OPPO and Futurewei, and earlier advanced entropy coding, lossless modules, and AR/VR workflows at Samsung and AMD. His background combines a PhD in Laser and Optical Engineering with hands-on R&D in multispectral imaging, plenoptic systems, and hardware-friendly codec design, enabling practical bridges between optics, vision science, and compression algorithms. Colleagues know him for tackling hard problems—like ANS entropy coder optimization and low-complexity decoders—while also contributing to quality metrics for immersive content. Outside work he explores robotics, human visual system research, and machine vision as hobbies, which inform his interdisciplinary approach to codec innovation.
The 360tools package is software for VR video processing experiments. The software includes both 360 video conversion and quality metrics functionality
