Abstract: The present describes low latency streaming using temporal frame transformation. An execution component in an edge server executes a first instance of an application. A server interface component receives, from a remote server, a resolution delta frame indicating differences between a high resolution first frame and a low resolution first frame of a second instance of the application or, alternatively, receives the high resolution first frame. A video manipulation component generates a motion delta frame by identifying differences between a low resolution first frame and a low resolution second frame of the first instance of the application. The video manipulation component generates a high resolution transformed frame by applying the resolution delta frame and the motion delta frame to the low resolution second frame.

Abstract: A first user input is received when a client program executed by a client computing device is in a first state. The first user input is sent to a server computing device to render a view of a virtual scene. A state change from the first state in the client program due to a second user input or a program event is identified. One or more gaps in a server-rendered current view due to the state change are determined. A rendering of the one or more gaps is selected from among the server-rendered current view, a server-rendered predicted view and one or more prior-rendered views. A current view is rendered using a simplified model of the virtual scene by rendering the one or more gaps from the selected rendering. The current rendered view is visually presented via a display of the client computing device.

Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to performing collaborative rendering. A GPU of a mobile device can generate a mobile-rendered video stream based on a first instance of an application executed on the mobile device. A GPU of a server can generate one or more server-rendered video streams based on instance(s) of the application executed on the server. Based on the one or more server-rendered video streams, the server can generate a compressed server-manipulated video stream. The mobile device can further combine the mobile-rendered video stream and the compressed server-manipulated video stream to form a collaborative video stream, and a display screen of the mobile device can be caused to display the collaborative video stream. The mobile-rendered video stream can have a first level of a quality attribute and the collaborative video stream can have a second level of the quality attribute greater than the first level of the quality attribute.
