چکیده
Figure 1: (a) Our method with 6.7M triangles Rungholt scene. 55K shaded samples. Inset picture was taken through the lens of the Oculus Rift HMD. (b) Naı̈ve ray tracing. 1M shaded samples. Visual quality in our method is equivalent to the one produced by the naı̈ve method when seen through the HMD. (c) Our foveated sampling pattern and k-NN filtering method. Each cell corresponds to a sampling point. Real-time rendering over 60 fps is achieved with the OpenCLray tracer, running on four RadeonR9 290X GPUs.

Foveated Real-Time Ray Tracing for Head-Mounted Displays
Head-mounted displays with dense pixel arrays used for virtual reality applications require high frame rates and low latency rendering. This forms a challenging use case for any rendering approach. In addition to its ability of generating realistic images, ray tracing offers a number of distinct advantages, but has been held back mainly by its performance. In this paper, we present an approach ...
متن کاملFoveated Path Tracing - A Literature Review and a Performance Gain Analysis
Virtual Reality (VR) places demanding requirements on the rendering pipeline: the rendering is stereoscopic and the refresh rate should be as high as 95Hz to make VR immersive. One promising technique for making the final push to meet these requirements is foveated rendering, where the rendering effort is prioritized on the areas where the user’s gaze lies. This requires rapid adjustment of lev...
متن کاملReal Time Ray Tracing on Many-Core-Hardware
With the shift from highly clocked, single thread processors to chips that have dozens or even hundreds of smaller processors, we are witnessing a fundamental change in the computing hardware we use. This paper describes an approach to use modern many-core-hardware to apply real time ray tracing to Virtual Reality environments. We show that current hardware can speed up real time ray tracing to...
متن کاملTowards Using Realistic Ray Tracing in Augmented Reality Applications with Natural Lighting
Virtual objects in augmented reality applications often appear flat and thus violate the immersion. To further extend the range of illumination effects and to improve the visual quality of the renderings we combine augmented reality, ray tracing and image based lighting techniques. We explore the resulting possibilities and problems which occur in such a scenario. Beyond that we present a metho...
متن کاملHigh-resolution 360 Video Foveated Stitching for Real-time VR
In virtual reality (VR) applications, the contents are usually generated by creating a 360◦video panorama of a real-world scene. Although many capture devices are being released, getting high-resolution panoramas and displaying a virtual world in realtime remains challenging due to its computationally demanding nature. In this paper, we propose a real-time 360◦video foveated stitching framework...
