    Abstract: In one example, a processing system including at least one processor may obtain a predicted viewport of a mobile computing device for an immersive visual stream, identify a first plurality of blocks of a frame of the immersive visual stream that are associated with the predicted viewport, encode the first plurality of blocks at a first encoding quality level, and encode a second plurality of blocks of the frame at a second encoding quality level, where the second encoding quality level is associated with a lesser visual quality as compared to the first encoding quality level and where the second plurality of blocks are outside of the predicted viewport. The processing system may then transmit the frame having the first plurality of blocks encoded at the first encoding quality level and the second plurality of blocks encoded at the second encoding quality level to the mobile computing device.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, scanning, by an augmented reality system, a local environment which includes an object. The scanning includes identifying one or more characteristics of the object such as its size or shape. The subject disclosure may further include providing, to a display device of a local user in the local environment, local image information of the object from a viewing perspective of the local user and providing, to a display device of a remote user in a remote environment, remote image information of the object from a viewing perspective of the remote user. The subject disclosure may further include detecting a local user interaction with the object, detecting a release of control of the object by the local user to control of the object by the remote user, and providing updated local image information of the object to the display device of the local user and providing updated remote image information to the display device of the remote user based on the release of control of the object. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining an identification of a device capability associated with a client device that is presenting a first scene that includes a first physical object and a first virtual object, determining a first location of the client device, responsive to the determining of the first location, obtaining an output from a sensor that is located within a threshold distance of the first location, processing the output from the sensor to identify a second virtual object in accordance with the identification of the device capability, and transmitting first data associated with the second virtual object to cause the client device to present the first physical object and the second virtual object in a second scene. Other embodiments are disclosed.
