Systems and methods for configuring adaptive streaming of content items based on user comfort levels

Abstract

Systems and methods are described for configuring adaptive streaming of content items (e.g., extended reality experiences, or any videos, including 360° videos), and selecting a version of the content item based on desired content comfort rating(s) which may be determined based on monitoring discomfort trends of a user. A determination is made of whether the discomfort trend exceeds a threshold, and if so, a version of the same content item that is rated for the desired discomfort rating is used, where the selected version is more comfortable for the user than the originally scheduled content item. Alternatively, the user's actual discomfort is measured during consumption of content item and used to select a version of the content that is more comfortable. In a live setting, specific enhancement of the content item can be selected, such as view from a specific camera, an angle of the camera, zoomed in/out image, etc.
