Abstract

A combined video of a scene may be generated for applications such as virtual reality or augmented reality. In one method, a data store may store video data with a first portion having a first importance metric, and a second portion having a second importance metric, denoting that viewing of the first portion is more likely and/or preferential to viewing of the second portion. The subset may be retrieved and used to generate viewpoint video from a virtual viewpoint corresponding to a viewer's viewpoint. The viewpoint video may be displayed on a display device. One of storing the video data, retrieving the subset, and using the subset to generate the viewpoint video may include, based on the difference between the first and second importance metrics, expediting and/or enhancing performance of the step for the first portion, relative to the second portion.
