What this post added

Introduced techniques for optimizing 360 video and VR content delivery. This includes transforming equirectangular layouts to cube maps, reducing file size by 25% and improving encoding efficiency. Further optimized for VR with pyramid encoding, achieving an 80% file size reduction. Implemented view-dependent adaptive bit rate streaming for VR to dynamically adjust content based on field of vision and network conditions, and explored pre-generating multiple resolutions for viewports to manage latency and server-side setup.
