Segmentation of content delivery
A system and method for segmentation of content delivery is described. A virtual object model is divided into a plurality of segments. An order of the plurality of segments is arranged in a delivery queue. Each segment of the virtual object model is delivered in the order of the delivery queue to a device that is configured to recognize a physical object that is associated with the virtual object model.

determine a position and an orientation of a device in relation to a physical object;
divide the three-dimensional model into a first and a second segment of the plurality of segments based on the position and the orientation of the device in relation to the physical object, the first segment including parts of the virtual object visible from the device, the second segment including parts of the virtual object not visible from the device;
generate analytics results based on analytics data received from a plurality of devices, the analytics results identifying a rate at which each feature of the three-dimensional model is interacted with and a rate at which each location on the three-dimensional model is viewed by the plurality of devices;
divide the three-dimensional model into a third and a fourth segment of the plurality of segments based on the analytics results, a feature included in the third segment being interacted with more often than a feature included in the fourth segment, a location corresponding to the third segment being viewed more often than a location corresponding to the fourth segment;
