Abstract

Disclosed is a system for encoding and/or rendering animations without temporal or spatial restrictions. The system may encode an animation as a point cloud with first data points having a first time value and different positional and non-positional values, and second data points having a second time value and different positional and non-positional values. Rendering the animation may include generating and presenting a first image for the first time value of the animation based on the positional and non-positional values of the first data points, and generating and presenting a second image for the second time value of the animation by changing a visualization at a first position in the first image based on the positional values of a data point from the second data points corresponding to the first position and the data point non-positional values differing from the visualization.
