Systems and methods for video delivery based upon saccadic eye motion

A system for delivering an immersive content to a viewer over a network, comprising:

• a video display system configured to display the immersive content to the viewer;
• a video storage device configured to store the immersive content, and communicatively coupled with the video display system over the network;
• and
• an eye tracking device disposed proximate at least one eye of the viewer and configured to track a focus of the at least one eye, the eye tracking device being communicatively coupled with a video processing unit;
• wherein the video processing unit is configured to adapt and transfer a portion of the immersive content to the video display system based at least in part on a tracked focus of the at least one eye data measured by the eye tracking device.

A method for generating an immersive content over a network for a viewer, the immersive content including a first portion having a first resolution and a second portion having a second resolution lower than the first resolution, the method comprising the steps of:

• measuring, by a network analyzer, a network quality metric of the network;
• inputting, to a video processor, the network quality metric and a gaze area value;
• detecting, by an eye tracking device, a first location of a field of view of at least one eye of the viewer;
• determining, by the video processor, a size of a first region on a display device to display the first portion of the immersive content, based on at least one of the first location, the network quality metric, and the gaze area value;
• and
• processing, by the video processor, the immersive content based on the determined size of the first region to generate the immersive content including the first portion having the first resolution content and the second portion having the second resolution content lower than the first resolution.
