Abstract: An audio rendering method and computer readable medium instructions, comprising obtaining sound object data for a sound object in a first format suitable for rendering into an output signal and obtaining user tracking information for a user at a time subsequent to setting up the sound object data in the first format. The sound object is rendered by converting the sound object data from the first format into the output signal and in conjunction with said rendering a transform is applied to the sound object, wherein the transform depends on the user tracking data. Two or more speakers are driven using the output signal.

Abstract: Predictive pre-fetching of streams for 360 degree video is described. User view orientation metadata is obtained for a 360 degree video stream that includes data for a plurality of viewports. Data corresponding to one or more high-resolution frames for a particular one of the viewports is pre-fetched based on the user view orientation metadata and those frames are displayed. The high resolution frames are characterized by a higher resolution than for remaining viewports.

Abstract: A method for building an artificial intelligence (AI) model. The method includes accessing data related to monitored behavior of a user. The data is classified, wherein the classes include an objective data class identifying data relevant to a group of users including the user, and a subjective data class identifying data that is specific to the user. Objective data is accessed and relates to monitored behavior of a plurality of users including the user. The method includes providing as a first set of inputs into a deep learning engine performing AI the objective data and the subjective data of the user, and a plurality of objective data of the plurality of users. The method includes determining a plurality of learned patterns predicting user behavior when responding to the first set of inputs. The method includes building a local AI model of the user including the plurality of learned patterns.
