Systems and methods for dynamic representation of a remote computing environment which can be implemented in the context of a virtual desktop infrastructure. A server hosting a computing environment may communicate system state to a remote client via a network. A representation of the computing environment may be generated by obtaining graphical data of a virtual computing environment, sub sampling the graphical data to determine a plurality of regions, determining a manner to prioritize the plurality of regions, and causing, based on the prioritization, an approximate representation of the graphical data to be transmitted to a second system.
