ATTENTION MISDIRECTION FOR STREAMING VIDEO

Disclosed are various embodiments that implement attention misdirection to conceal errors in streaming video. A video stream quality monitor executed in one or more computing devices determines that an error in a video stream may be user perceivable. The video stream is then configured to include a distraction to mask the error. The distraction is designed to induce a saccade in a user, which interferes with perception of the error by the user.
