Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for distributing virtual visual content, including: sending a first content portion in virtual visual content to be interacted in user equipment to a plurality of edge devices; selecting at least one edge device from the plurality of edge devices; and sending a second content portion in the virtual visual content to the selected at least one edge device, the second content portion having a higher change rate than the first content portion in the interaction. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, a portion of virtual visual content can be distributed to selected edge devices in advance, and there is no need to distribute the virtual visual content to all edge devices, thereby saving network burden, reducing bandwidth requirements, and improving distribution efficiency.
