Abstract

Techniques for multiple frame distributed rendering of interactive content are described. In implementations, interactive content includes various types of visual content, such as video games, interactive videos, interactive applications, and so forth. Interactive content includes scene objects, such as graphical renderings of visual scenery and background images. Interactive content also includes interactive objects, such as avatars and/or other visuals that can be displayed in the context of scene objects and that can be manipulated in response to user input. In at least some embodiments, scene objects can be rendered over multiple frames of interactive content prior to being displayed, and interactive objects can be rendered and displayed more frequently, e.g., with each frame.

Claims1

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

displaying a previously-rendered version of a scene object as part of a frame of an interactive application, the scene object representative of visual scenery in the frame displayed on a display device of a computing device;
performing, via the computing device, visual processing for the scene object during display of the frame to enable display of the scene object to be updated in a subsequent frame and without updating display of one or more visual aspects of the scene object in the frame;
updating, in the frame, display of an interactive object from the interactive application, the interactive object being representative of an object in the frame that is directly controllable responsive to a received input to the computing device, the interactive object being displayed on the display device of the computing device;
and
applying the visual processing performed during display of the frame to the one or more visual aspects of the scene object in the subsequent frame of the interactive application to cause display of the scene object to be updated in the subsequent frame.
