US Patent 10306180 Predictive virtual reality content streaming techniques

In some implementations, a system is capable of reducing latencies associated with streaming virtual reality (VR) content over a virtualized computing environment. A first frame of VR content provided to a computing device is identified. A second frame of the VR content to be rendered for display on the computing device is also identified. Input data associated with the VR content streamed on the computing device is obtained. A collection of partial frames associated with the first frame is determined. One or more partial frames is selected from among the collection of partial frames that are associated with the first frame. An instruction for rendering the second frame is generated. The instruction includes at least, for each of the selected partial frames, a representation of the difference between a corresponding portion of the first frame and a particular partial frame. The instruction is provided to the computing device.
