Abstract: An apparatus for delivering virtual reality data portions to a client device, including a processing unit configured to perform the following in each one of a plurality of iterations: (1) receive from a network a current orientation data indicating a current orientation of a client device, (2) apply a rotation to a segment of a sphere defined in a virtual reality (VR) video file according to the current orientation, (3) crop from the rotated segment of the sphere in an equirectangular projection format an extended field of view (EFOV) frame in the equirectangular projection format according to the current orientation, and (4) instruct the network to transmit the EFOV frame to the client device.
