1. A method comprising:
retrieving a plurality of points that are distributed in a three-dimensional (3D) space of a point cloud;
differentiating a first set of points and a second set of points from the plurality of points based on the first set of points and the second set of points representing different features in the point cloud;
prioritizing the first set of points differently than the second set of points based on a classification of a first feature that is represented by the first set of points and a classification of a second feature that is represented by the second set of points;
selecting a first subset of points from the first set of points that preserve unique first details of the first feature without all points from the first set of points;
selecting a second subset of points from the second set of points that preserve unique second details of the second feature without all points from the second set of points; and
presenting the unique first details of the first feature and the unique second details of the second feature before presenting other parts of the first feature and the second feature by streaming the first subset of points and the second subset of points across a data network to a client device in an order that is determined from said prioritizing.
