Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in at least one computing device, the program comprising: code that executes a game application in at least one computing device, the game application being selected from a library of game applications; code that obtains at least one input command from a user at a client; code that provides the at least one input command to the game application; code that obtains a video signal generated by the game application; code that performs an encoding of the video signal into a video stream, wherein the video stream is associated with a first level of encoding quality; code that determines that a saccade-inducing event is occurring in the video signal, the saccade-inducing event being predicted to induce a saccade in the user so as to interfere with perception by the user of a reduction in encoding quality of at least a portion of the video stream; code that temporarily adjusts the encoding of the video signal into the video stream relative to a duration of the saccade-inducing event, wherein the at least a portion of the video stream is associated with a second level of encoding quality that is below the first level of encoding quality; and code that sends the video stream to the client.
