The fidelity update frames may include incremental data or complete, high fidelity image data for a portion of an entire image. The sink devices may store and implement fidelity management policies that control operation of the devices to balance resource consumption against fidelity to meet the needs of specific operational environments.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the disclosed subject matter involves automatically calibrating and adapting the configuration of a virtual reality (VR) session to accommodate user tolerances and experience preferences. In a test mode, a user is presented with content related to VR metrics. The user rates the content based on VR performance tolerance, which may be affected by user limitations, environmental characteristics, or personal preference. An initial set of calibration settings is generated based on the ratings, which may be used to configure the VR session for the user. Sensor data is collected during runtime to enable dynamic and automatic re-calibration of the settings. The VR rendering uses the calibration (e.g., re-calibration) settings to render VR content for the user.
