Remote rendering enables complex graphics rendering based experiences to be delivered on resource constrained devices. By leveraging cloud computing resources for remote rendering, new application paradigms like cloud gaming and cloud XR can be realized. By optimizing different aspects of remote rendering, it may be possible to improve the quality of experience of end users of such applications.
