In an IPTV or other network, a server terminal is interconnected with a number of client / peer terminals. For peer-to-peer file downloads, a data file having multimedia content (e.g., a television show) is split into a number of portions for distribution among the peer terminals. The size of each file portion increases according to the chronological order of the multimedia content, such that the first data file portion (containing the beginning of the content) is the smallest, and the last portion (containing the end of the content) is the largest. Having been provided with their network locations, a terminal obtains the file portions in either a sequential mode, where the file portions are obtained in correspondence to the sequential or chronological order of the multimedia content, or a random mode, where the file portions are obtained irrespective of the chronological order of the multimedia content.

This disclosure describes systems and methods for augmented reality (AR) content delivery in pre-captured environments. In one embodiment, an AR client gathers information about the physical environment with the help of sensors embedded within an AR headset. The client reconstructs a 3D model of the physical environment from the gathered information and sends it to an AR content server. Based on the 3D reconstruction information obtained at the AR content server, the server modifies the content. AR content server compares the AR content against the 3D reconstruction data and does a visibility analysis of the AR content. Based on the visibility analysis, the AR elements occluded by real objects are removed to reduce the data size of the AR content. Finally, the AR content server streams the modified content to the AR client and the AR client renders the content and sends it to the headset.
