Abstract

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a process that determines a field-of-view of an immersive video viewer, determines present orientation of the immersive video viewer at a first time, and predicts a future orientation of the immersive video viewer occurring at a second time based on the present orientation of the immersive video viewer. A subsegment of an entire immersive video frame corresponding to the second time is identified based on the predicted orientation of the immersive video viewer and the field-of-view. Wireless transmission of the subsegment of the entire immersive video frame to the immersive video viewer is facilitated for presentation at the immersive video viewer at the second time, without requiring transmission of the entire immersive video frame. Other embodiments are disclosed.
