Systems and methods for real-time streaming of three-dimensional content using different encoding formats

A streaming system comprising:

• one or more hardware processors configured to:
• receive a request for three-dimensional (3D) content;
• retrieve at least a first 3D asset and a second 3D asset that form the 3D content;
• determine a first priority associated with the first 3D asset and a second priority associated with the second 3D asset;
• stream the first 3D asset in a first encoding format based on the first priority and the second 3D asset in a second encoding format based on the second priority, wherein the first encoding format uses more network resources than the second encoding format and presents the first 3D asset at a higher fidelity than the second encoding format;
• determine that a priority of the second 3D asset changes from the second priority to the first priority between a first frame and a subsequent frame of the 3D content;
• and
• stream the second 3D asset in the first encoding format for the subsequent frame of the 3D content, wherein the first encoding format increases a fidelity at which the second 3D asset is rendered in the 3D content relative to the second encoding format.

A method comprising:

• receiving a request for three-dimensional (3D) content from a client device;
• retrieving at least a first 3D asset and a second 3D asset that form the 3D content;
• determining a first priority associated with the first 3D asset and a second priority associated with the second 3D asset;
• streaming, to the client device, the first 3D asset in a first encoding format based on the first priority and the second 3D asset in a second encoding format based on the second priority, wherein the first encoding format uses more network resources than the second encoding format and presents the first 3D asset at a higher fidelity than the second encoding format;
• determining a reduction in rendering resources at the client device between a first frame and a subsequent frame of the 3D content;
• and
• streaming the first 3D asset in the second encoding format for the subsequent frame of the 3D content, wherein the second encoding format is rendered using fewer rendering resources of the client device than the first encoding format.
