Abstract

Methods and apparatus for conveying directionality and distance information from a transmitter to a receiver within the coordinate system of the transmitter. Conveying the directionality and distance information to the receiver may, for example, reduce computational loads at the receiver. The signal from the transmitter may include information for rendering digital content and information indicating the direction and distance of the transmitter, and the receiver may render the digital content using the direction and distance to reduce processing at the receiver. Alternatively, the signal may include pre-rendered content based on the direction to further reduce processing at the receiver.
