Interpolation of views from an immersive media ingest format by use of either NN models or network-based rendering engines are further facilitated as advanced network technologies (e.g., 5G for mobile networks), and fiber optical cables are deployed for fixed networks. These advanced network technologies increase the capacity and capabilities of commercial networks because such advanced network infrastructures can support transport and delivery of increasingly larger amounts of visual information. Network infrastructure management technologies such as Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC), Software Defined Networks (SDN), and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) enable commercial network service providers to flexibly configure their network infrastructure to adapt to changes in demand for certain network resources, e.g., to respond to dynamic increases or decreases in demand for network throughputs, network speeds, roundtrip latency, and computational resources. Moreover, this inherent ability to adapt to dynamic network requirements likewise facilitates the ability of networks to adapt immersive media ingest formats to suitable distribution formats in order to support a variety of immersive media applications with potentially heterogeneous visual media formats for heterogeneous client endpoints.
