Abstract
A processor-implemented method for streaming visible blocks of volumetric video to a client device during a predefined time period is provided. The method includes (i) receiving at least one block description file from a content server, (ii) processing each block description in the at least one block description file, to determine the visible blocks that are selected from a set of blocks, that are capable of being visible to a viewer of the client device during the predefined time period, based on a 3D position, size, and an orientation of each block in the set of blocks and at least one view parameter of a user of the client device, (iii) transmitting a request for the visible blocks, to the content server, and (iv) receiving the visible blocks as a visible blocks video at the client device.
