InterDigital CE Patent Holdings, SAS filed 1 patent application in H1 2026, covering Cloud Gaming (1).
The patent addresses video Streaming optimization for cloud gaming environments by embedding virtual camera metadata, including position, orientation, and field of view, directly into video bitstreams. This approach aims to enable compression algorithms to make more informed decisions and reduce latency in Streaming scenarios.
In cloud gaming, 1 patent takes aim at a fundamental mismatch between how video codecs work and how game content is actually produced. Traditional compression systems treat rendered game frames the same way they treat footage captured by a real-world camera, ignoring the fact that game engines already know exactly where the virtual camera is, which direction it faces, and what field of view it uses. This filed application describes a method for embedding that camera metadata directly into the video bitstream itself, so the compression process can take advantage of the deterministic, geometry-driven nature of rendered scenes rather than making generic assumptions about the content.
