Systems and methods for providing content

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:
• receiving a plurality of streams of an immersive video of a scene, wherein each stream corresponds to a viewable direction in the immersive video;
• partitioning each stream into a set of base segments;
• presenting a set of base segments of a first stream corresponding to a first direction in a viewport interface;
• and
• upon detecting a change from the first direction of the viewport interface to a second direction during playback of the first stream,
• stopping presentation of the set of base segments of the first stream, and
• starting presentation of offset segments of a second stream corresponding to the second direction in the viewport interface to reduce latency,
• wherein the offset segments are offset from base segments of the second stream;
• wherein the amount of offset of the second stream is determined based at least in part on a probability transition map predicting changes from the first direction in the viewport interface to the second direction during playback of the first stream.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a plurality of streams of an immersive video of a scene, wherein each stream corresponds to a viewable direction in the immersive video;
• partitioning each stream into a set of base segments;
• presenting a set of base segments of a first stream corresponding to a first direction in a viewport interface;
• and
• upon detecting a change from the first direction of the viewport interface to a second direction during playback of the first stream,
• stopping presentation of the set of base segments of the first stream, and
• starting presentation of offset segments of a second stream corresponding to the second direction in the viewport interface to reduce latency,
• wherein the offset segments are offset from base segments of the second stream;
• wherein the amount of offset of the second stream is determined based at least in part on a probability transition map predicting changes from the first direction in the viewport interface to the second direction during playback of the first stream.
