Low latency wireless virtual reality systems and methods

A method of processing Virtual Reality (VR) data, the method comprising:

• transmitting user feedback information comprising at least one of user position information and user orientation information;
• receiving encoded audio-video (A/V) data generated based on the user feedback information;
• using one or more client processors to:
• separate the A/V data to audio data and video data, the audio data corresponding to a portion of a next frame of a sequence of frames of the video data to be displayed;
• decode the portion of the next frame of the video data and the corresponding audio data;
• provide the audio data for aural presentation;
• control the portion of the next frame of the video data to be displayed in synchronization with the corresponding audio data.

A processor device for processing Virtual Reality (VR) content, the processor device comprising:

• memory configured to store data;
• and
• one or more client processors in communication with the memory and configured to:
• control user feedback information, comprising at least one of user position information and user orientation information, to be transmitted from the processor device;
• separate received encoded audio and video (A/V) data, generated based on the transmitted user feedback information, into audio data and video data, the audio data corresponding to a portion of a next frame of a sequence of frames of the video data to be displayed;
• decode the portion of the next frame of the video data and the corresponding audio data;
• provide the audio data for aural presentation;
• and
• control the portion of the next frame of video data to be displayed in synchronization with the corresponding audio data.

A processor device for processing Virtual Reality (VR) content, the processor device comprising:

• memory configured to store data;
• and
• one or more processor configured to:
• predict, based on received user feedback information, a user viewpoint of a next frame of a sequence of frames of video data to be displayed;
• render a portion of the next frame of video data to be displayed using the prediction;
• encode the portion of the next frame of video data to be displayed;
• and
• control transmission of the encoded portion of the next frame of video data to be displayed.
