360-degree video is an emerging medium that presents an immersive view of the environment to the user. Despite its potential to provide an immersive watching experience, 360-degree video has not achieved widespread popularity. A significant cause of this slow adoption is the high-bandwidth requirements of the format. The primary source of bandwidth inefficiency in 360-degree video streaming, un-addressed in popular transmission methods, is the discrepancy between the pixels sent over the network (typically the full omnidirectional view) and the pixels displayed in the head-mounted display's field of view. At worst, roughly 88% of transmitted pixels remain unviewed.
