Abstract
In some examples, techniques and architectures for modifying resolution of video displayed on a display device include receiving information from a distance sensor and one or more image sensors, detecting an activity of a viewer of the display device based, at least in part, on the information received from the distance sensor and the one or more image sensors, and transmitting a request to a remote server to adjust bandwidth of media content streaming to the display device to a new bandwidth. The new bandwidth may be based, at least in part, on one or more of the activity of the viewer, size of the display device, or an ability of the viewer to resolve images displayed on the display device.
