Abstract: A client and server deliver and play subjective video content over the Internet or other network. Frame order, frame rate, and viewing parameters are solely determined by the viewer. A passive streaming protocol supports the operation of the subjective video streaming, in which the server plays a passive role, yielding the control of the entire streaming process to the client system. A scheduler at the client drives the streaming and controls the pace and order of video content downloading. Streaming policies effectively maximize utilization of remote multi-viewpoint image contents shared by multiple on-line viewers.
