Abstract: An exemplary method includes a virtual reality media provider system acquiring, from a plurality of capture devices physically disposed at different vantage points in relation to a scene, a distinct set of two-dimensional (2D) color data and depth data (2D data) for each capture device included in the plurality of capture devices, each distinct set of 2D data representing a distinct unmeshed view of the scene from a respective vantage point of a respective capture device included in the plurality of capture devices, acquiring metadata for each distinct set of 2D data, packaging each distinct set of 2D data into a transport stream such that the transport stream includes data representing each distinct unmeshed view of the scene from each respective vantage point of each respective capture device, and providing the metadata and the transport stream for streaming to a media player device.

Abstract: An exemplary virtual reality system (“system”) accesses metadata descriptive of a plurality of surface data frame sequences that each depict a different view of a three-dimensional (3D) scene, and identifies a set of experience parameters descriptive of a particular virtual reality experience providable to a user by a media player device that processes a particular virtual reality dataset that is customized to the particular virtual reality experience. Based on the metadata and the identified set of experience parameters, the system selects surface data frame sequences for inclusion in a frame sequence subset upon which the particular virtual reality dataset is based. The system then includes an entry corresponding to the particular virtual reality dataset within an experience selection data structure configured to facilitate dynamic selection of different entries by the media player device as the media player device provides different virtual reality experiences to the user.
