BaD CrC Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 https://enterprise.vive.com/us/product/vive-pro-eye/ This eye tracking feature is really promising, but I suppose it needs to be supported by the software that will then draw a precise picture where the user is looking at, and a low resolution one for his peripheral vision? This could potentially make a huge difference for the game performances. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlikwin Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Ah yes the oft promised but never actually delivered Foveated rendering that will "solve" all VR problems. Its vapor ware. All the current eye tracking tech can do is automagically adjust your IPD on some headsets, and then it can project your eye position to a VR avatar. No one is doing FR at this point outside of a lab. I fully expect to see Vulkan and a bunch of other stuff in DCS long before foveated rendering. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, HP Reverb (formermly CV1) Old-N-busted: i7 4720HQ ~3.5GHZ, +32GB DDR3 + Nvidia GTX980m (4GB VRAM) :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, Rift CV1 (yes really).

Jyge Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I think foveated rendering without an increased resolution and PPI makes little sense. Vive Pro does not have a very high resolution so I think they can render the fovea as much as they like it will not increase the pixel density nor take away the screen door effect.

No one is doing FR at this point outside of a lab. I fully expect to see Vulkan and a bunch of other stuff in DCS long before foveated rendering. i might be wrong, but i think there is a huge missconception regarding foveated rendering and eye-tracking. i'm not even sure if this is done "in a lab" somewhere. in fact i have never read anything about some dev trying to do dynamic FR with eye tracking. one obvious problem would be, that you would first have to detect where the player is looking and then change the FR, which should result in some latency, where your view sharpens up only after a frame or two. not sure how immersive this would be. but i'm not saying, that this is impossible, only that i have never read anything about it being actually being implemented and that i have my doubts, that it would be that useful. however, there is a great benefit of foveated rendering in VR without eye tracking. additionaly to how FR is already utilized in some non vr games, in vr you can additionaly cater for the lens resoulution and pp distortion correction, to deliver optimal resolution without "wasting" resolution on parts that would either get squeezed from lens correction, or would simply suffer from lens edge detail loss.
