Claim One:
1. A method comprising: compressing a first scene of an image sequence relating to a first view location based on a first plurality of foveation zones, at least one of the first plurality of foveation zones having a corresponding resolution so that at least one object associated with the first plurality of foveation zones is viewer-recognizable; and compressing a second scene of the image sequence relating to a second view location based on a second plurality of foveation zones, at least one of the second plurality of foveation zones having a corresponding resolution so that at least one object associated with the second plurality of foveation zones is viewer-recognizable; wherein at least a portion of the first scene and the second scene of the image sequence occur in the image sequence at the same time such that at least a portion of the image sequence is compressed based on both the first scene and the second scene; and wherein during the portion of the image sequence that is compressed based on both the first scene and the second scene, the image sequence is compressed based on a probability that a viewer is looking at the first view location vs. the second view location.
