1. A system comprising a first apparatus for reproducing media content and a second apparatus storing the media content,
wherein the first apparatus is adapted to:
obtain pose information indicative of a position or orientation of a user;
transmit the pose information to the second apparatus;
receive rendered media content and predicted pose information from the second apparatus;
compare the predicted pose information to actual pose information, wherein the actual pose information is pose information obtained at a timing at which the rendered media content is actually processed by the first apparatus for reproduction;
update the rendered media content based on a result of the comparison;
the second apparatus is adapted to:
determine the predicted pose information based on the pose information received from the first apparatus and previous pose information received from the first apparatus at a previous timing;
render the media content based on the predicted pose information to obtain the rendered media content; and
transmit the rendered media content and the predicted pose information to the first apparatus for reproduction.
