    Abstract: Methods and system of multiview video rendering, preparing a multiview video cache, and real-time multiview video conversion employ video information having multiview frames corresponding to multiview video timestamps to generate views of a multiview frame using cache data entries of a multiview video cache corresponding to a target time stamp. The cache data entries may include a first cache data entry corresponding to a first multiview frame preceding the target timestamp and a second cache data entry corresponding to a second multiview frame following the target timestamp. The target timestamp for a particular multiview frame to be rendered may be based on a user input. The system may include a processor circuit and a memory that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to perform one or both of multiview video rendering and preparing a multiview video cache.
