More Information
Summary:Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for streaming a game. The method includes receiving a background stream rendered on a server and including a server time stamp, the background stream rendered at a first resolution and displayed at a second resolution, the first resolution larger than the second resolution. The method also includes receiving a foreground stream rendered on the server. The method also includes receiving control input from a player at a current time, the control input controlling a camera angle of the game. The method also includes determining a difference in the camera angle intended by the player between the current time and the server time stamp. The method also includes adjusting a display output based on the difference by shifting a focal point of the background stream according to the control input by utilizing extra rendered pixels.
