Abstract

A mechanism is described for facilitating adaptive resolution and viewpoint-prediction for immersive media in computing environments. An apparatus of embodiments, as described herein, includes one or more processors to receive viewing positions associated with a user with respect to a display, and analyze relevance of media contents based on the viewing positions, where the media content includes immersive videos of scenes captured by one or more cameras. The one or more processors are further to predict portions of the media contents as relevant portions based on the viewing positions and transmit the relevant portions to be rendered and displayed.
