Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
tracking behaviors associated with one or more users viewing different sets of three-dimensional (“3D”) image data that are encoded as part of a particular 3D image, wherein the different sets of 3D image data collectively form a 3D scene;
prioritizing the different sets of 3D image data based on the tracking of the behaviors;
receiving a request for the particular 3D image; and
streaming the different sets of 3D image data in a non-sequential order that differs from an order with which the different sets of 3D image data are encoded as part of the particular 3D image according to the prioritizing of the different sets of 3D image data based on the tracking of the behaviors, wherein streaming the different sets of 3D image data in the non-sequential order comprises:
streaming a first set of 3D image data before a second set of 3D image data, that is encoded before the first set of 3D image data in the particular 3D image, in response to tracking that the one or more users view the first set of 3D image data before the second set of 3D image data or spend more time viewing the first set of 3D image data than the second set of 3D image data;
detecting a third set of 3D image data that is separated from the first set of 3D image data by at least one other set of image data and that has a first priority, a fourth set of 3D image data that is adjacent to the first set of image data and that has a second priority that is lower than the first priority, and a fifth set of 3D image data that is adjacent to the first set of image data and that has a third priority that is lower than the second priority; and
streaming the fourth set of 3D image data before the third set of 3D image data, after streaming the first set of 3D image data, and prior to receiving user input for a movement away from the first set of 3D image data based on the fourth set of 3D image data corresponding to a set of 3D image that neighbors the first set of 3D image data with a highest priority.
