Abstract: An edge data network for providing a three-dimensional (3D) character image to a user equipment and an operating method thereof are provided. The edge data network obtains key points information including feature point coordinates related to the body parts of a first user, from a first user equipment via a network, and obtains view points information including virtual position coordinate value information of virtual view points from which a second user views a 3D character image from a second user equipment, measures a key points similarity and a view points similarity by respectively comparing the obtained key points information and view points information with key points information and view points information cached in a data cache, and reads out a 3D character image cached in the data cache based on the measured key points similarity and the measured view points similarity, and transmits the read out 3D character image to the second user equipment.

Abstract: Example embodiments provide a method, performed by an edge data network, of rendering an object, and a method of displaying an object rendered on a device. The edge data network may generate a second metadata set corresponding to a predicted position and direction of a device based on a first metadata set, and render a first object corresponding to the second metadata set. Furthermore, the edge data network may receive, from the device, a third metadata set corresponding to the current position and direction of the device, obtain a rendered object corresponding to the current position and direction of the device based on the second metadata set and the third metadata set, and transmit the obtained rendered object to the device.
